Thanks, but I cannot find "Rules".

This is as close as any rule as I could find, but my deleted post didn't fit that.  Rules?

" Why are you so strict about off-topic conversations?
It's true that we are stricter than most about keeping discussions on topic. Discussions that wander too far off topic are first steered back on topic. If that fails, topics are often closed if it's obvious that no further on-topic discussion is possible. Occasionally, someone responsible for shifting the conversation to an off-topic subject may be restricted from the thread in an attempt to avoid having to close it. This policy allows for the easier organizing of and searching for information, threads, posts, etc."

Alright...found the search function.  This is what I found:

Post links to your personal site or blog in your signature - no problem. Links to non-personal sites are not allowed (exceptions granted for "my home course" type links). Post a large image in your signature? Probably gonna be pushin' it a little. The Sand Trap believes in spreading the word, in linking between sites, as we feel it raises the water level for all involved. But don't abuse the forum, don't spam members, and don't post merely to spread links to your site. Don't include a URL in your avatar and don't make a username "mysite dot com." That's pushing it.

Remember, any member can report you or your posts just by clicking the little "report post" button.

Contribute to the forum. Act in a responsible, respectful manner. Display a sense of decency. Y'know, all the stuff your parents tried to teach you.

In exchange, we promise to listen to ideas and issues. We promise to keep advertising to an absolute minimum. We promise not to beg for money or donations. We promise to be fair.

Have fun. We've not had problems, and though I know I can't expect never to have any, I can ask that we try to avoid them.

Thank you
