MOD NOTE: Everybody calm down. We’re all trying our best, and talking past each other isn’t helping. Let’s assume a little more goodwill and show a little more patience, and this will be a better experience for everyone.

MOD NOTE: The post has been removed and the spammer blocked from posting.

MODE NOTE: The discussion of anti-spatter spray has been moved to its own thread.

MOD NOTE: The posting in question was removed not simply because it contained a commercial link, but because the tailgating rules specifically state that the section is for person-to-person sales between forum members ONLY. Glenn was quite adamant that posting notices of third-party sales was not permitted. This is distinct from the rules regarding posting company names or commercial links. The first is permitted, as it provides information to forum members about sources of supply. The second is forbidden, as it constitutes unpaid advertising and feeds web traffic algorithms. The rule against posting notices of third-party sales remains in effect. This thread will not be deleted, to help members understand the policy. However, information about this specific sale will be removed from the thread and comments will be turned off.

MOD NOTE: Mikey98118's most recent comment on speed controls has been split into its own thread:

MOD NOTE: A central theme of I Forge Iron is mutual respect for all the members of our community. That includes not causing each other offense, either intentionally or unintentionally. George N. M. acted appropriately in warning Kogut about a possible issue, and Kogut is to be commended for his promptness in modifying his username appropriately rather than risking offense. The issue is closed.

Added B&W Anvils.
