LOL!

6a) Disclosure: If the government want something, they can get it.

It should read:

If the government WANTS something, they can get it and not:

If the government WANT something, they can get it.

GOSH.

Improper grammatical usage just makes me cringe.

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

Hrm... in one breath you seem to want to deny being a staff member here... but then post these rules for the web site.

It's also odd that what you posted is a very minor tweak of what we posted on ATS about two years ago:
Simplified Terms and Conditions (old version)

I'd like to point out this aspect of the rules you posted:

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

i think these rules should only apply to members who have no respect for others i dont follow any of these rules as i hunt for conspiracy facts and i refuse to be stopped by these rules that have nothing to do with me:)

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

I'd like to point this out to you.

What I posted was written by CC management and not me, pal.

Speak to them if you think they stole content from ATS.

P.S. You'd better make it quick because your membership on this forum is about to expire.

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

It was originally written by me, minimally revised by someone, and posted by you.

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

What was originally written by you?

Don't bother to attempt a response, as you've been banned forever.

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

i am not interested in who the staff members are or who conjured up these so called rules i am here to assist in figuring out conspiracies i think the management team should rid all threads that dont pertain to any conspiracies and this thread should be at the top of the agenda:)

Re: Rules of Engagment
 

We thank you for your opinion, but management is responsible for making this thread a sticky as they want all members of CC to be aware of the rules of this forum.
