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.

My life isn't invested in the lies of this world and I'm confident enough in myself to not care if people on the Internet like me or not for believing things that they don't.

By the way, it's a bad idea to get rid of the DC forum. The whole reason they exist is because if they didn't, politics infects the day to day topics. Which, as you can see from this thread, is already happening. That phenomenon only gets worse if you eliminate the outlet. If you want to turn this forum into a war zone between people with political opinions and moderators trying to keep politics off the forum, the best way to accomplish that is to eliminate the acceptable outlet for discussion.

As for threads that get started in the lounge that aren't about sports (even though "sports" are very political these days), I would be in favor of moving those very quickly. So if it's not about cleats in the turf (like the Whitlock topics tend to be anymore), it shouldn't be in the lounge.

JMO. And I'm more than willing to help in any way that I can.
I never bring politics to the Lounge unless it’s by mistake. I can’t count the number of times my football (or otherwise nonpolitical) posts are met with “why don’t you just go back to DC”. There’s a lot of mental weakness in the Lounge and that seems to include some of the moderators.

That's a sign of a weak person posting... We have a lot of them in our larger CP community...

That's fine. There will come a day when people wake up to things like MK Ultra - stuff that most people simply dismiss. I don't dismiss it. I listen to the victims who have spoken out. Their stories are outrageous. Unbelievable in many cases. Nevertheless, where there is smoke there is fire. It doesn't bother me that people who have never explored the accounts of these victims think someone who has is "crazy." We're people, and we judge like that. I likewise have my own judgements about people who refuse to look at the evidence around them.

There is a bigger picture that you're not going to see on CNN. You're just not.

Most people I disagree with in DC I get along with in the lounge for the most part.

There's clearly animosity that leaks into other forums, which rules out the whole "just stay out of DC", plus all of the political junk in other forums.


Saying DC is a big problem doesn't automatically mean the Lounge is perfect or close to it.... but, even a shithole football forum is still a football forum.
To me, the lack of civility is the biggest issue. When politics are discussed, it seems like some people struggle resisting the urge to say disgusting shit about other people.

I am not a long time CP member, but it seems like the mostly unmoderated feel of DC has led to a significant amount of vitriol. You combine that with a false sense of anonymity and people will say just about anything.

Call me thin skinned, but some of the interactions I have seen in DC are a bit frightening. A discussion about politics or contentious subjects doesn't have to devolve into what it almost inevitably does in the DC forum

I know this is tangential to the topic at hand, but wanted to post it anyway.

I was called, and this is an exact quote, a "phaggot", which violates the term of service, because I had earlier mentioned that Nielsen Ratings should not be politicized and used as a weapon.

Nielsen ratings exist for Entertainment Production companies, TV studios, Advertisers and Networks, not as a weapon to say "See, ratings are down because of those Black NBA players. I LOVE IT!".

He was let go a few years ago, and we recently learned that he has an "end times" (e.g., book of Revelation) blog where he outlines all of the signs that the world is coming to an end. Each "article" will probably require you 2-3 hours to read. It's impressive in an insane way.

I can't help but picture that guy when I read TJ's posts. Granted, they're crazy in a completely different way.
