Random Politics & Religion #05
To address how the previous thread ended; after we all discussed the situation, a couple people were tempbanned as opposed to section banned outright. These tempbans came with a warning that the next action taken will be a section ban.
Wow.. Seriously.. There goes my faith in humanity.

I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Monica Lewinsky...

So I thought the last thread was supposed to be ironfist-like, I figured the mods were talking to the actual posters, not the actual thread itself. If all you guys are gonna do is close a thread when it gets rough, whats the point.

Damn, forced to agree with vic. The ups and downs of tonight's episode are getting drastic!

Why make "new and improved" P&R when this forum can't handle it? What's the point?

Not quite content to call it a failure yet, but clearly there's problems in the format that need addressed. Asura.Carrotchan said: » Why make "new and improved" P&R when this forum can't handle it?

They get topicbanned until the new RP&R is made. You just dealt with a situation by closing a thread and punishing no one. There have now been 5 RP&R threads in (I am totally guessing right now) what, 45 days? A grand total of no topicbans handed out, but 5 threads. You guys aren't even following the rules you are setting in the OP. Asura.Carrotchan said: » Anna Ruthven said: » Satire is tolerated.

Although I think it is meant that posting satire articles and discussing them is okay? I don't think it means, you can be satirical in your posts. Which is basically trolling. It's the personal attacking that everyone seems to have a problem with. Attacking positions is a lot harder than attacking a poster and people be lazy.

Hey, if push comes to shove, you can always eliminate P&R and put the armchair politicians back on Facebook where they belong.
