Forum Rules
Welcome to the Gear Forum!
We’re here to chat about all things outdoors, from the best camping gear to the latest in RV gadgets. So grab a virtual camp chair and let’s get to it!
What’s Not Allowed? 🚫
- No Bigots, No Bullies, No Exceptions: Racist, sexist, or any other hateful remarks have no place here. Period.
- Keep It Gear-Focused: We’re here to talk tents, not tantrums. Leave religious debates and political rants at the trailhead.
- PG-13, Please!: No nudity, gore, or anything you wouldn’t show your grandma.
- No Duplicate Accounts: One user, one account. Let’s keep it simple.
- Got a Bone to Pick?: If you’ve got beef with a business or someone, keep it professional. This isn’t Judge Judy’s court.
A Few Other Things 🛠️
- Mods Are Not Your Parents: We’re here to keep things running smoothly, not to referee every spat. Be respectful and use the report button if needed.
- We Might Spruce Up Your Posts: We might edit posts to include links to the gear being discussed. We’re not sneaky salespeople, just helpful gearheads.
- Avatars & Signatures: Use good taste, folks. And if you’ve got any business connections or affiliations, be upfront about it in your signature.
TL;DR: Don’t Be That Person
This is a community, and communities only work when everyone’s on the same page. If you’re here to talk gear, share advice, and swap stories, you’re in the right place! If not, well… there’s a wide internet out there.
