Fix the damned punctuation

Thanks for the response,
I figured that would be the case but every once in a while, there are no stupid questions.
 
Better bad punctuation than the toxicity of the other place.
 
That other place has so many people complaining to the mods and asking mods to ban people they do not agree with or like.

It is a very toxic and unhealthy forum to use. Some members have acted like the SS or Stasi and even called the cops on others there because they didn't like them.

I know at least 2 dozen people who have either been permanent banned for very minor and petty stuff or who refuse to use it anymore.

I made a very funny joke there once about the navy that everybody laughed at and a mod removed it and everyone else who replied to or linked it and gave me an infraction for it because he said he was in the navy or naval reserve and said he did not like the stereotype portrayed about the navy which he viewed as disrespectful or hateful.

When others asked what happened to my now gone funny joke post I said it triggered somebody very sensitive, very badly who removed it and then the mod PM'd me threatening to ban me for making that follow-up comment to other members asking.

They are a very special type there, especially some of the mods! They remind me a lot of Reddit mods.

Not all are bad although, two regular mods from Ottawa are cool and I have even been to their homes.

You just described what it was like 10 years ago. I still cruise the for sale ads once in a while...like, every 6 months or so. I don't bother reading forum posts.

I always though of this forum as kind of like the Breakfast Club. All the most interesting posters wound up here after being banned from there. I do miss Foxer though, wish he would still contribute. One hell of a shooter, that guy.

So, nobody is going to fix the punctuation?

I see an employment opportunity ad elsewhere on the "webs" for the mothercorp...no idea if it's to come clean up the rogue punctuation here or maybe crush cardboard boxes at world headquarters. Surely to Christ someone has noticed the decomposing smell of Telos in the tech admin dungeon?
 
Smart Quote Test... “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.” It’s the darn Liberal’s fault.
 
Let's see if things are any better today. I notice that the question marks are still there in every quoted article. But this new version is supposed to be fixable? Can we take up a collection to supply Cheezies to the Nerd Squad so they have the energy to fix... all this?
 
That's the only thing that's worked for me. Trying any sort of structure results in a 403 error. Haven't tried to post quotes. Not a computer guy but really don't understand why in this day and age these issues are occurring on a forum. Yeah I know it's a new set up but posting text,links,quotes are not a new thing in the world of forums. What's been done here that's so different from pretty much all the forums I've come across?
 
Still can't quote reply. I've been spending more time over at Rimfire Central because I've been banned from the other Canadian site for the past 8 years and can't be arsed to creat a new account with a smurfed email address, and Savage Shooters is shutting down at the end of August. But for Canadian Content... this is really the only place I have to go.
