Dude, that's what's made the boards great :(Mister Bushice wrote:After reading the other thread, and all the PMs I received on the subject, I think this set of minimal rules will benefit the forum without taking away from the discussions. It is not intended as Carte Blanche for mods to slash and burn - hell, we could do that now if we wanted to ;) , but obviously some changes were needed, if only to distinguish this forum from the others, and to cut down on the garbage that a disgruntled few enjoyed dumping here.
Very simply put:
1. No thread hijacking.
This is why America sucks. The Brits wouldn't stand for this shit.2. No call out threads or non topic personal insult posts.
If you like the call outer but not the person called out, it stays;Those will be moved to main street or removed, depending.
Aiight.C.Bickering should be kept at a minimum. It is in everyones best interest to maintain some thread integrity by not devolving into a circular pissing match with someone else, so don't do it.
You need a towel or a spittoon?See? That didn't hurt too much. You can hoist up your pants now, we're all done here. :)
If you'd read more often, you'd know that the tactic generally being addressed is when a poster has no comeback for an anti-Bush remark by another and comes back with "Oh yeah, well Clinton lied to a grand jury" and then the thread goes off and running about Clinton. It's only being done because some people lack the ability to stop yammering when proven wrong or nailed with the smackbat, so they try to spin and deflect. It's lame, tired, sucks and is nothing but a thread-killer.Risa wrote: Dude, that's what's made the boards great :(
Why not just hand everyone a pair of
clippers at the door to castrate themselves
from the beginning?
NFL forum has the same basic rule. Those type of threads belong on Main Street.This is why America sucks. The Brits wouldn't stand for this shit.
A political board without call out threads is like
a sports board without call out threads. It sucks,
man. There are other places for gentility.
Why here? :(
What are we, in junior high?If you like the call outer but not the person called out, it stays;
if you don't like the call outer, or you like the person called out, it's removed?
Does this apply when it is a lefty loon doing the hijacking after being asked (by the thread starter) to put it in another thread?Mister Bushice wrote: 1. No thread hijacking. Offending posts will be removed. Threads that naturally move from one topic to another will not be touched, for example if a thread starts out about bushs Stem cell beliefs and ends up discussing Bushs Economic policies, it'll stay. Unless it is obviously an intended hijack, like diverting from "Bushs religious beliefs" to "Civil war sexual practices of junior ranking officers" in mid stream for no reason. Those type of posts will be split but will most likely remain in the forum.

Just curious.
Turning a discussion on presidentiall ethics (itself a lame attempt to divert from the thread subject, but I responded anyway) into an attack on Israel?Mister Bushice wrote:Ah yes. A victim of your own posting style you are. I didn't bother to even read that thread of yours after opening it and seeing "semi long read" in annoying boldface in the first line, I moved on and didn't go back.
What was your problem again?
Props on living down to my expectations.Mister Bushice wrote:Sucks when people hijack yer threads with the moderators' blessing, don't it?
First of all, you're mistaken (to be polite). I don't hijack threads, and the way I generally respond to hijackers is to either link to another or just ignore them.Mister Bushice wrote:Yeah well seeing as how I only heard you cryin about it yesterday, a little taste of the exact kind of crap you've been pulling around here for the past year can only do you some good.
Bullshit, your very posting style hijacks the thread.Diogenes wrote:First of all, you're mistaken (to be polite). I don't hijack threads
Threats. Wow.Diogenes wrote:No whining involved, either you fix the thread and I'll respond to marty's bullshit 'argument', or you don't and I ignore it. Win/win situation for me.
