Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums

We're seeing an uptick in people randomly throwing out political bullshit in threads in the Lounge. Don't. Report people who do. They'll get booted from the thread for a first offense and more than that if they continue.

The end.

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.

The benefit of the doubt? They pretty much blew that big time. That thread would have never gotten out of hand if it had been moderated with an even hand. This place isn't close to what it used to be so many have left It not fun anymore and its happened rapidly.

That would be like cooper saying he has free reign to post porn every time someone posts a picture of Brodie Croyle's wife, because well, it was headed down that path anyway.

Nice loophole... no politics in the Lounge, so just post a thread so we can all go wild!

I don't care which side you're on, if you say only one side is tolerated, you're lying to yourself.
I haven’t been in that thread for a long time. The fact that both sides are there isn’t in dispute. The question is whether our moderators are able to recognize both sides.

Yeah, that's the shitty part.... the 2nd part of the article was clearly political and I'm sure that was Whitlock's intent, but plenty of people are 100% capable of steering away from that anyway.

Just like the Covid thread.... there's actually a lot of good conversation sprinkled in with all of the crap and to simply say there shouldn't be a Lounge Covid thread because of the politics is crap for all the people who aren't/weren't there to opinion spam and turn it into a cesspool.

The fact that both sides are still posting there all but proves they're not just allowing one side to voice their opinions. That was what was alleged, after all.

If you're not reporting posts, you're complicit. Simple as that.

Besides, you refuse to complain anonymously because you ain't no snitch but you have no problem complaining in public? How does that make any sense?

Na. But in srvy's case, he likes the politics infiltrating places where it is not welcome. You know, THE LOUNGE.

Not bagging on him, but the psychology is clear.

You don't seriously think that the mods read every post in every thread ever posted, looking for TOS violations do you?

The biggest part of a moderators job is to adjudicate complaints. The board software has a specific mechanism for lodging those complaints. For a reason.

Not reporting posts and then calling out the mods in public is straight up childish.
