Have the Political Forum Rules Changed?

So you're changing the rules then? The sticky specifically says “beyond (the big forbidden topics), you're on your own”. If you are now saying Rules #1, #3 and #4 apply in the Political Forum, that is a major and material change. You might as well ban 90% of the participants here, starting with me. I insult people all the time. It's considered de rigueur in this forum. Name any regular poster and I can cough up a slew of their insults. Each time we address each other, it's usually with an insult.

Under the new rules, how is anyone supposed to know which insults “cross the line” and which don't? If it's totally subjective, then you're opening a Pandora's Box and asking to be flooded with dozens of RTMs a day. Do you really want to sort through them all and decide which have “merit”? Luke_Wyatt is already pleading with you to ban the word “faggot” - do you want to encourage that kind of nonsense? And everyone who is disciplined will point to insults they received from someone else and complain about a double standard, no matter how even-handed you try to be.

Why change the rules under which this forum has been operating for many years just to accommodate and empower one thin-skinned little snowflake anyway? The rest of us are all grown-ups here. Originally Posted by lustylad

CC even started a sticky thread berating the people who hit the RTM button.

I don't see the thread with the rules modified has been changed. No disrespect against SMI but I would advise against it.

Or you all can take it to the spyder hole and avoid all this......ijs Originally Posted by SOULMANIKE

...

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 can try and blame this on Luke all you want but the fact of the matter is that there were to many members that could not stay away from the n word or words so very close to it.

Some of you are not getting it....they no longer want this forum to exist in it's current form.

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

Is that your opinion or are you getting "concierge mod service" again? Again, if they want to substantially change the rules, I suggest they modify the stickies, and begin enforcing the rules consistently. Of course, you will be expecting "concierge mod service." Also, be prepared to lose ad revenue.

You're quite wrong. All but the nuclear rules WERE formally suspended in this forum according to the sticky, and Chica Chaser informed everyone that only the nuclear rules applied several times over the years. Then you show up and selectively, and arbitrarily, ban one person for rudeness while ignoring the person punching the RTM button who was at that exact same moment posting rude remarks directed at a provider. 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.

Luke claimed in other threads to have suffered a head wound and being overweight. If members reveal person details here about their RL or "their handles RL" that their stupidity.

This forum is useless...even the folks on TV insult the shit out of one another talking politics! Originally Posted by WTF

It is a useless forum if we can not insult each other. ..fuck gnad, what kind of political discourse is that!

Ask IB to explain my point for you, he understands wtf I'm doing.

I may be mistaken. But, it seems to me that you don't have a modtard overseeing this forum anymore. Thus, opening the forum up to oversight by any/all modtard/s.

The solution is to get St.C to appoint a modtard to this forum that meets the vision of what he finds acceptable for here.......like he did for the Spider Hole.

I agree that by CC's standard Waco did not merit a ban. But, CC did not ban Waco, and CC is not here to defend his standard he set for this forum.

Be careful the poison you choose........ijs

Not hard to prove intent.

Things like that are either OK or they're not OK.

But please spell it out so dipshits can get back to the business of couching political topics in terms of homosexual fellatio and glory holiness.

Your pal,

Jewish Lawyer

I nominate me...

If not me , than 2Doggies , he knows the drill.


but he'd have to promise not to protect those Pissburg gaymos! I mean God Damn, those two homo's cry a the drop of a zipper!

Sorry you've got to do this, mods, but I'd lie more than happy if the term "cocksucker" appeared in the context of the fee for service relationships this board provides forums for. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Why don't you start a new thread entitled "Assup's Guide to Politically Correct Vocabulary"?

Will your list of censored words include your favorite reference to providers who dare to post in this forum – SLUNT? Or will it only contain words that (strangely enough) stick to YOU more than any other poster, like faggot and cocksucker?

I agree that you - WTF - can't talk politics without calling everyone a homo.

If you feel constrained from speaking your mind to a mod, it's your problem.

One of the main reasons this forum is successful is because it has always been lightly moderated and abuse of the RTM function has been strongly discouraged.

You can try and blame this on Luke all you want but the fact of the matter is that there were to (sic) many members that could not stay away from the n word or words so very close to it.

Wacko was one, even after DeD added to the rules in here. Originally Posted by WTF

Nonsense! The “big forbidden topics” in the sticky from Day One specifically included “any type of racial slurs”. Nobody is arguing that.

I didn't start this thread to defend Waco (ok, maybe a little) as much as to clarify if the rules have changed.

If it's been pussified then you'll be right at home.
Stop whining bitch and hit your god-damn RTM button. Originally Posted by Munchmasterman

You have 4,100 posts, dontcha? How many contain the word “cocksucker”?

Hmmm... tell you what – just leave now and I won't bother to hire a Kelly girl and teach her how to hit the RTM button 4,098 times.

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

I can not help it that this forum is litered with right wing closeted log cabin weenie washers.

Which one of you has never been banned, JL?
