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.

(Oct 2020 update)

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.

No offense but I'm not surprised. Generally, volunteering to be a mod doesn't work. I'd focus on your plan first, get them to buy in, and then suggest candidates for moderator.

NFL has ran a commercial sponsored by the NFL about cops killing black men. Saw it multiple times last night.

Because of the weird schedule, I haven't watched any Sunday football for a while. It's all been streaming ESPN or NFLN. And on those streams, a lot of the commercials are replaced by a splash screen.

Has anyone mentioned [recently?] that calling this a sports forum is a bit off mark, as we fancy [fancied? who the **** knows anymore. . . ] ourselves more as a watering hole with a sports theme. Talk about what you find interesting. Ignore what you don't.

You're just desperate to be in charge of something around here, aren't you?

Dougie, please stop pretending that personal insults are only relegated to the DC forum.

Stands to reason, one of the smartest guys here.

[mostly because of how often he agrees with me]

[[really, it's uncanny how many times (over many years, of course) I read a thread mentally formulating my counter-arguments, and at the end of the thread, ol' patty has my arguments already outlined in his own response.]]

And one of the most vocal about not needing a DC forum to this day, 16 years later.

It is what it is at this point. There's no way it could be undone now. So it's kind of moot.

After sleeping on it, I would probably be more inclined to focus on the people who come into the Lounge and carp all over the place with DC stuff, than DC itself for now. Once again without digging deep into it, I would say that probably only involves 20 people, or less, likely closer to 10.

It's not that hard to do....

...like not having the police involved in your life.

Don't think I don't agree, I've just given up . . .

And actually, the string of the ghetto was salved a bit when we got a BUNCH of subforums, instead of just the one. DC is 'niche' not pariah.

Actually, the problem is different in nature, not extent, now.

Back then it was spamming, with jAZ and Clearvision and BushLiedPeopleDied popping up with an entire front page of threads every day. Content got pushed down the list out of sheer volume.
