ChiefsPlanet Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums - Page 11

**DaFace** · 06:25 PM

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.

Hmm, maybe eight years of the most divisive turd to ever soil the office between Bush and Trump might have something to with it.

You are proving DaFace's point. The only mindless drone I see in this thread is the political zombie who thinks life is divided into two adversarial groups, those who agree with your political ideology and those who deserve your hatred.

This should be common sense.

Don’t remember how long ago it’s been, but i do remember when it was all in the Lounge. This setup is much better.

Again, common sense.

SJW's and the media are ruining the country. (Blanket statements about a broad group of people. Opinion-based. Likely not appropriate for the Lounge.)

I'd report you to you but you're too cool for such things...

Did you CC Brooke Pryor? Personally I’d like nothing more than wall of sports from politics but the left refuses to do that.

I don't understand why people WANT to talk about politics, at all. Every four years is good enough for me.
