So, everyone gets three thread bans as warnings, and after that will get a vacation in DC (the other forums will be view only). The thread bans and DC vacations will be posted in the transparency thread.
Just like several other rules, there's of course gray area and it doesn't really matter where the line is drawn, because those who can keep politics out of the Lounge will never come close to the line and those who can't will insist on running right up to it.
Generally speaking, we're talking about political opinions or blatantly inserting politics into a thread that isn't even a little bit on topic, or otherwise leaking DC BS into the Lounge or other forums.

Good start, IMO.
If I were king (which I absolutely do not want to be, JFYI), I would amend the above slightly:
Just 2 warnings/thread bans, then a one week CP suspension, meaning they can't log on at all for 7 days. Then a one week DC-only vacation before getting full privileges back.
An additional infraction after that, and it's one thread ban, then a two week forum vaca, followed by two weeks in DC-jail, and so on.
After a third infraction, it's perma-ban, or RR-only for 12 months.
But like I said, I'm not king of CP; just blue-skying until a new post goes up in the 'Mahomes blames himself for Chiefs offensive issues' thread.
