it's impossible to tell, though. and it's a pretty dire threat to be so completely undefined in terms of whatever the offense was. all we know is that they're pissed because they had to read stuff.

any political forum is going to have some elbow-throwing; it's the nature of the beast. I suspect they're going to break the forum again.

You're assuming these offenses have not been warned already. I know I have received warnings for posts...as well as warning level percentage hits. Most likely, these warnings and small warning level percent hits (normally around 5%) aren't working so they're pushing it up to 50%.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm reading. the warning said there would be no warning before, well, the warning. but at 50%, aren't your posting privs revoked?

Per the AUP, that looks to happen at 75%. at 50%, all your posts are reviewed by a moderator first.

And this thread is the warning. Not to mention at least one other thread or post which LS said to clean it up.

This. Satire and parody are what this board is about.

RE: A warning to everyone
At one time a wise man called the thread derailers ankle biters that stir up trouble. An apropo description if you ask me. I guess it boils down to this.

At the end of the day we have people who live to stir up trouble. Must be unhappy with life or something. I don't know. You know who you are. People get tired of it, but I will say this:

We all have a tendency to tick each other off. The first time I read about that Flint water situation I saw red. It ticked me off and I started a thread I later regretted. Once I read about the situation, we had plenty of blame to go around. Who knows.

Yea,

Pretty murky area when you say "name calling". Does that include dolt? Don't be an A-hole? Cons, Libs, socialists, capitalist pigs, statists, science deniers?

Maybe we could get a list of restricted terms so as to not Oooooffend any of our more gentle sensibilities?

It'll be great, like our own little safe space...

Why do you need a list? I'm a liberal, I take no offense at being called a lib. It's not an insult like the right tried to make it when Limbaugh got started. I personally think it's stupid to call a liberal a lib when calling a conservative a con seems worse. 03-wink

I'm sort of a Socialist (much like Bernie), so I don't get offended by someone calling me such as long as they don't add a blue adjective in front of it. 03-lol

But when many of you continually call me a Communist when I've never embraced any of the core tenets of such, then yeah, that's an insult.

It's just common sense...or at least it should be.

To me, the bigger problem is the threads that turn their focus to one or more posters directly. I've seen this happen to me on several occasions. Many of which are on threads that I haven't even commented on yet! It's mind-numbing.

Can we not just deactivate the report function for the SpinRoom?

And, hell, I'm up for an unwritten rule in the SpinRoom of "man the **** up." This is, after all a political area of the forum. Of course you won't agree. I think the mods should take a casual approach of seeing what they see in their own interactions here and leaving it at that.

We all know the folks that turn everything into a pissing match, ***** about people, call people all sorts of names, and generally take every opportunity to try to turn the knife in others. Hell, as a group it is about time we start to ignore those folks in general instead of relying on the Heat to take care of it. ****, aren't most people libertarians after all?

Also, what does a 50% warning do to you?

I'm happy here and yet have been invited to leave several times. A few aren't happy. Seems the invitation is extended to the wrong people.

And HOD hit the nail on the head. So bothersome that people use the report button, get rid of it. Replace it with an IGNORE button. Idiots can't figure out how to do that, help the morons.

I suggest to remember that this is for fun and entertainment. I try not to take this seriously. If someone offends me...I try to reply as tactfully as possible and then don't return to that OP. I have better things to do than argue with anonymous internet trolls.

Fo- I'm going to start my own Hall of Fame thread. Posts that have sage advice from all sides of the Spectrum. I think this an appropriate and noteworthy first thread.

Isn't that what the WWE room was created for? Everyone just stopped using it.

And per the site AUP, a 50% warning means that every post you make has to be approved by a moderator before it's displayed.

Quote:Warning Level Teirs:
0% - No Actions Taken
50% - All posts made by user are required to be approved by moderator
75% - Posting privileges suspended
100% - Banned
