Politics and News is a social sub-forum which generally follows the global AnandTech Forum posting rules, the enforcement of which is subject to moderator discretion.
Additionally, in accordance with rule #11 of global posting guidelines, the Politics and News (P&N) subforum has adopted local posting rules, which are enforced by the moderation staff.
P&N's posting guidelines, which serve to supplement the AnandTech Forum posting rules, are as follows:
1. Due to the passionate nature of political discourse, rather wide latitude will be given to the back and forth allowed in P&N. However, with great allowed latitude come great responsibility. Repeated, "way over the top" personal attacks of the most egregious type will be sanctioned. The enforcement of this rule is, as always, subject to moderator discretion.
If you are new to P&N, it is advised that you spend a day reading through the posts in order to get the best idea of what is allowed and what is not. If you cross the line, your first sanction will be a zero point one, and only after you have accumulated three separate one point sanctions will any material consequence occur. Even then, it will be but a one day vacation. Therefore, you will have ample opportunity to best understand how you are expected to proceed here. Let your common sense shine through!
2. Use of images: The written word is paramount in P&N. Images may be used in a post ONLY to supplement a written argument, but may not be your sole contribution to any one post, and must be used sparingly, in any case. Repetitive overuse of images by any one poster will also not be allowed.
In addition, since the written word is paramount, posts in P&N require personal commentary, not just links or just images or just anything.
Members are encouraged to report posts which are suspected of violating the forum's posting guidelines.
To report a post, please use the "Report Post" button which looks like a red triangle
located in the lower-left corner region of the post being reported and fill out message box with details that best highlights the suspected rule violation.
Member's who desire clarification on moderator actions, or lack thereof, within P&N are expected to seek moderator guidance via the Moderator Discussions subforum. Violations of this rule will be sanctioned for "moderator challenge in a public forum" in accordance with rule #13 of the AnandTech Forum posting guidelines.
Likewise for members who wish to discuss forum rules, clarifications on those rules, and gain deeper understanding of the specifics of the enforcement of the rules are expected to seek moderator guidance via the Moderator Discussions subforum. Special exception to this rule is made only in moderator sponsored threads specifically relating to Open Mic discussions and community voting on individual posting rules.
