I sorry, but I don't quite understand how telling me if you've had problems with shipping from APS Canada off the apsram.ca website falls under the age-verification rules. Would you be able to explain why it is? I've read over the age verification rules and it only mentions on not having access to the classifieds, understandably so. |
Think of it this way:
We participate in an activity (some call it sport) that requires we follow a specific set of rules to maintain integrity in the activity. If we don't follow rules, be it a safety thing ie blind firing, or an honor thing (not calling a hit) we would be breaking the rules of the game and our own honor and integrity comes into question.
This community, ASC specifically, is built on this principle. Prove to the community that you are 18 through the community representatives to participate in the discussions you are wanting. These are the hoops you have to jump through if you want all of your questions answered here. They're the community rules, and while I personally don't agree with them all the time, this community has its price to be paid to be part of it, and that means following the rules.
Even if there have been people who have ordered from the site, they're not obligated to tell you since that would also confirm or deny the existence of a site that sells the guns, and the rules are that members can not openly discuss where a non verified person can go shopping. That's the rule, and even though people have danced around it in order to answer some of your questions, it remains the line that people aren't allowed to cross.
You're lucky an admin hasn't edited your posts to remove your links or banned you outright for posting the links, which has been done before. The scope of the retail scene has changed a lot in canada in the last few years, but members of this specific community are governed by those rules, so unless the rules here change, we still have to play by them.
