An open letter to all C-C forum members

Regarding forum rules and enforcement
We, the admins here at Classic-Castle, don't like enforcing rules. Now before you go off and think that you can go off and do and say whatever you'd like, think again. We do not like enforcing the rules, but we will do so without hesitation.
We do not like enforcing the rules because we want everyone to have fun here, and when we have to enforce the rules, it usually means someone isn't having fun.
We created Classic-Castle.com so that fans of LEGO Castle would have a place to gather information, and we created the C-C forums so that those fans could have a place to share information and MOCs, to further enjoy their stay at our website.
Have fun here at C-C, that is the purpose of this place, but don't prevent anyone else from having fun, either. That's just about the only cardinal rule we have. Posting in the right place, staying totally on topic, while important, are really only minor things in the long run, and we admins try to fix them as soon as possible. However, as soon as C-C stops being a fun place, we, the admins, have failed at our jobs.
Enjoy yourself, share your ideas and creations to your heart's content, we welcome you to do so with open arms. If you have a problem with another member, do your best to work it out offline. If you need the help of an admin, that is our job, and we'll be here to assist you. If rules need to be enforced, we will do so as quickly and as fairly as we can.
Do your best to follow the few rules we have, be courteous to your fellow LEGO fan, and most of all, have fun.

Edit:
I just finished deleting 10 or so bogus users off of our forum. These users were either blatently or covertly advertising something, and were not contributing to this site in any way.
To give an example, some were advertising locations to find dates or where to buy cheap perscription drugs, and those were the tame ones.
If you see a new (or old!) user that has signed up that is advertising such things, or you suspect something is amiss, RAT THEM OUT!
Tell an admin or a mod immediately so that they can be dealt with as necessary, please!
While we do not allow children under 13 years to join our forum, we WOULD like to keep this forum clean and safe enough to where they could browse it.
Thanks,
--Anthony and the C-C Team
