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.

Due to continued reported posts and general frustrations around inserting politics into absolutely everything, and idea came up to restrict people to DC, much like the Romper Room.

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.

Now we can get into a long debate about what the definition of "racism" is. It's always fun.

I knew it!

You couldn't even give me ONE example of the racism you've personally experienced.

And then, as usual, you turn it around on someone else. That's called Deflection and if there's someone who's better at deflecting than you on CP, I'd love to see it.

That's part of the problem. People only tend to point out the people they disagree with and either don't see, or don't want to see, when people they would otherwise agree with, do the same thing.

There's a small group of people, conservative AND liberal, that live in DC, rarely post in the Lounge, and absolutely do believe the sewer that spews from the end of their fingers on a daily basis.

This is a fair point.

Also, who is shitsprayer?

Well you haven't "CP Friend Requested" me, but you're the living embodiment of Neg rep that's funny to read because you're a unhinged nutcase.

I remember somebody telling me to be nice to you. I guess your fragility (not that your replies would suggest it) is known in certain circles.

God bless your kids and wife for the cross they must have to bear.

You are a liar and hope you're banned for life.

Oh, we should throw a pity party for the most vile and repulsive asshole in all of DC, the same guy that can't keep his politics out of any conversation.

Poor GloryDayz.

It's rare, but if a person reports BS posts on a regular basis, we can check "Can't report posts," which takes care of the issue.

There has to be a whiny little bitch on this site that reports shit way more than others....

Yeah things were a little exciting in the background around here for a couple of days. That's the kind of excitement we can all live without.

I have a FULL PAGE of Positive Reps from you, including multiples in 2013.

Are you looking to be banned?

I may have given a negative rep or two at some point, but by and large I only give positive rep, even in cases where I’m critical. That said, I’m also good at not carrying grudges and I give credit where it’s due.

That post was a true story though. Given the way you rage so often, I’m not surprised that our encounter is lost in the noise as far as your memory is concerned. I mean, you were just accusing someone’s daughters of doing porn. It’s not one of your turn it up to 11 moments.

And I thought sheriffs and threats of lawsuits were bad.

They got arrested or lost their jobs because of what they said on CP?

Oh trust me, WAY.

Wait (this will be fun), I've had to perform at higher levels because of the color of my skin... Affirmative action "racism with a nice name) has made me be much better in order to "win the job".

But that's why I've chosen to identify as not-white now. Or are you saying that's not OK.

Please give me some lame-ass reply, I'm counting on you DaneMcCrazy...

I love Donger and Niner Doug and do not agree with 98% of what they post. Kind of like my sister who is as liberal as those two. I did put OH on ignore FWIW. I post in both, think Covid is overblown, Appreciate Trump (needs to keep his mouth shut a bit more). My take is that 99% of the stuff in DC is good debate. I can live with the 1%. Its why DC was created in the first place. Kick the dudes out that take it too far and move on

What, no CP Friend Request?

This is where you claim you would never accept it. Or will you???

Hold on, a CP Friend Request is coming your way, Amigo...

I think the problem people are not being empathetic towards others. The board need to remember that the other poster they're engaging is a human being with feelings, and treat them as such, in most cases.

Another issue that I am seeing now these days are people is reading (or listening in real life) with the intent to reply, not reading (or listening) to understand. So when you're reading another poster's life situation, don't assume.

Instead, focus on truly listening to others – not to find a counter-argument or to prove who is right or wrong, not to immediately jump in and share your own story, or just to add your own words or twist the narrative – but to actually understand and go from there. Listening to understand is critical in effective communication, conflict resolution, and healthy relationships. Ask productive questions to get clarification.

Otherwise, if you're going to assume, it just makes you look like an ass.
