This forum has regressed.
The forum was established for the purpose of "discussion" and "debate" on political topics.
It has regressed into "name calling", "inflamatory one liners", and threads posted of links to some other website for a large part.
So we have some new and additional guidelines.
1. Threads posted with simply links to other websites will be removed unless those threads also include some form of meaningful argument for or against the link that is original writing of the poster. And brief inflammatory arguments on one liners won't be considered legitimate. Additionally posting the content of the link to circumvent the link rule without the meaningful argument or comments willl be viewed as posting the link itself and will be locked or removed.
2. Inflamatory posts or responses that don't address the ongoing discussion will be removed from any thread.
3. Calling out of another member will not be tolerated and such content will be removed.
4. Name calling will not be tolerated. Posts will be removed including any meaningful content they might include. Name calling will include any profanity towards another member, idiot, moron, faggot, or anything remotely similar. If any member repeatedly participates in name calling they will be removed from the forum without notice.
4. Any member who contunually or repeatedly violates any of the above may be removed from the forum without notice for a period of time or permanently. And no, ***boat isn't a democracy.
5. Threads that drift off topic may be edited at the moderators descretion.
I have asked repeatedly that this forum shape up into a meaningful area for legitimate political debate and discussion of issues. I'm through asking. If you want to be a**holes to one another take it to bench racers. And general forum rules will be enforced there as well.
