Have the Political Forum Rules Changed?

This forum has gotten out of hand in many instances. No where in that sticky are the forum guidelines that govern the board being superseded. If anyone is pointed or banned it is based on these guidelines

I suggest that everyone that post in this section regularly, read and fully comprehend what is being said here in this post.

Everyone is free to RTM any post that they feel may have crossed the line, each is viewed on its on merit and decisions are based on the above posted link

My guess is not everyone is a member there and another guess would be nobody wants to talk politics in there.

I suggest we just shut this forum down. Nobody wants to talk politics without being able to insult the other side and we can no longer have a equal discussion with a Mod without the potential of being pointed.

You might argue that CC is no longer here, and that would be true, but to come in here and start banning people without previously and formally announcing this new policy change to all is arbitrary justice: especially in light of the fact that you didn't also ban the person punching the RTM button for being rude in the exact same time frame you banned Waco for violating Rule #1.

Dare say that there would be more than one person (Big Louie) who hasn't violated Rule #1 in this forum. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

It will now be moderated like any other forum. You'd be wise to take note or you might join Wacko on the sidelines! Originally Posted by WTF

Just ban the Reeky Pox-marked Pignut.

Here is what the sticky “Political Forum Rules” at the top of this forum tells us:



Here is what a moderator posted a few hours ago:

None of the “big forbidden topics” were brought up in the above closed thread. If insults and ridicule – in good taste or poor, provoked or unprovoked - are now verboten in this Forum, there are literally HUNDREDS of Political Forum posts that I am prepared to bring to the attention of the mods. I rarely hit the RTM button. I don't want to make unnecessary work for the eccie moderating staff. However, if such behavior (hitting the RTM button) is now encouraged and rewarded in the Political Forum, I'll change my habits.
