Board Guidelines Update - Please Review Before Posting

Recommended Posts

It was political and we have a couple of posters that insist on being hyperbolic to eachother.  If you could get them out of the threads so I didn’t have to address so many reports on them, it wouldn’t be a problem.  A bigger issue is that they feed off eachother and then others pile in so I can’t just ban the original perpetrators, I have to shut down the thread or spend more time modding everyone’s posts.

You could make me a mod and I could take care of it.

Politics are banned here for good reason. It’s a clearly political thread. There are thousands of other places on the internet to discuss this.  With people who actually know and understand history and the the current situation. A Mormon perspective is largely irrelevant and unnecessary. 

I agree with this.  This is just my safe place, I trust no one is too extreme or gullible here and it is way easier to tell myself I have learned enough and don’t have to go looking so I can avoid going down the rabbit hole and losing 4 hours before I realize what happened (I think it was 6 hours the first night…maybe that was the second, but typically my ventures down the rabbit hole last about 4 hours)

But it is over the top political among other things, so it is very understandable if it is off limits even if I wish it were different for selfish reason.  :)

I understand.  Thanks for letting it go as long as it did.

I totally disagree. I respect many opinions on here, from a wide variety of people. We have some very intelligent board members who are academically impressive to me.

That is why I love to discuss things here too, but it can..well, does get personal unless someone is there keeping an eye on threads and reminding everyone to stay focused like I did on the Covid threads I started (and others helped too).  That was likely a lot of work for the mods.
