ChiefsPlanet Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums - Page 33

**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.

As long as you don't post about doing devious things with said gun, I think you're good.

Some people just don't have that filter in their head that says, "If I post this, will I be getting a visit from people I don't want a visit from?" "Perhaps I shouldn't post it!"

That one is definitely better off left buried. I will say though that particular situation did not start here at CP nor was it politically motivated. So no real relevance to this thread. All the more reason to leave that situation alone.

Politics should stay in DC. Seems fair.

Reerun no longer has a job flying planes because of posts he made on CP. OMG.

Plus pop politics has forced politics into every crevice of pop culture, but I applaud any moderator effort to keep that divisive shit out of the lounge. If I want to play with the pigs, I'll get in the sty

Absolute horseshit. You right wing nut jobs just need to out of your echo chambers every once and a while. Seriously.

I just did a Search: DaneMcCloud Keyword: Porn.

There isn't even a SINGLE post in which I responded to you about Porn.

I authorize any mod to look at my account as proof that I did not ONCE say what you're accusing me of saying.

It would be more fun to talk to you if you didn’t suffer from such cognitive degradation when you’re enraged. I never suggested that my reps to you weren’t all positive because the vast majority of reps I’ve given are positive. I just didn’t want to give the impression that I’ve never given neg rep. Read better, Dane.

And last time I checked, you don't live in a city in which White people are the minority, which further invalidates your "knowledge" of racsim.

If murdering Liberals where a "thing", you'd be first in line to murder, while simultaneously swallowing Dick Cheney's cock.

This is pretty much the definition of a political post in the lounge. Right in the face of the mods "keep your political bullshit out of the lounge thread." Classic but it is Dane it will go unnoticed.

How about you back up your accusations with PROOF?

Is that too much to ask?

Well he was obviously not going to do what he had suggested, but you can't put something out there like that, without risking serious consequences and low and behold.

We were contacted by the FBI about it and required to preserve records of the posts.

If that is really the case, then there is probably around a 100% chance that the Feds took a peek in the DC Lounge to see if he had any collaborators. I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of the posters there now have a file based on some of the posts in there.

They got arrested or lost their jobs because of what they said on CP?
no way. Feds "radar"?

It seems a bit far fetched but who knows what big brother is watching. I would think the owner would have to give permission to eavesdrop on a privately owned server.
