There are now rules in P&N I think.

1) Certain inflammatory poll topics will be locked

2) Posting a topic calling the mod gay gets you a vacation.

3) Linking to topic #1, saying that there are now rules, will get a thread locked

Stay tuned, we'll find out if posting a reference to the locked topic in a new thread is a thread that get's locked also. This is an interesting way to learn the rules, trial and error.
 
doubt this one will last long, but would be nice to know what the actual rules are now

but realy, the mods usualy do a great job at locking lockworthy threads
 
I think that is what I was digging for Czar 🙂 A whole thread was posted in the Forum Topics on this very subject, it was locked and ignored also.

Hasn't this always gotten you a vacation? Most notably allusions to Mod activities in 1930s and 40s Germany.
 
One has to wonder why the rules were removed in the first place. Couldn't they be put back with a push of the button? (not that they were abided by in the first place...or enforced for that matter)

If they had been enforcing the rules, then several members would be vacationing, probably a couple of moderators posting under their usernames as well 😉
 
Yeah, I don't see how we can operate under this kinda "anarchy." Especially with that dillhole Amiritallica (or whatever that guy's name is) around....

Seems pretty obvious to me that the forum rules comming down and that thread if forums issues must be related.

If I had to guess I'd say it was because of that thread, everybody, or at least a large number of those of a particular 'suasion' belly aching about rules not being enforced while they break everyone of them themselves on a regular basis. If I had to deal with a room full of blind babies who think the rules apply to others and not them and then trun around and complain about it, I'd pull the rules too. A dog pile beats the hell out of rank hypocracy. One way to grow up is to foul your own nest. The forum is what you make it so make it the best you can.

 
I guess the "behave yourselves or we'll take the forum away" concept is ok.

I must have thin skin, though, because I don't like it when people call me names. (I'll try to get over it. 🙂 )

DealMonkey should be suspended because he is violating the no personal flames rule.
Hey nightmare, I didn't call you gay you i love you! I was asking if you were gay because you seem to have taken a personal grudge towards my posts that were against gay marriage.
Anyway I don't give a rats ass about you dumbnuts that can't tolerate other people's opinions. I thought these forums were a place of discussion, not a playground for a queer 12 year old mod.

Blah, blah, blah. I see "Amirtallica" is now back as "Amirtallica1" ... I'm taking wagers on how long before he gets banned under his new name... PM me if you're in 😀

 
I don't really care if I get banned buddy, it just shows how weak you are. If you can't back up your opinions you ban people that disagree with you.

You are so lucky I am not a mod, troll. I will not give you the satisfaction of slamming you back.

Oh no you di..int.

Enjoy your last few posts on AT.
 
One would assume that folks in this type of forum would not need rules... given the nature of a Political forum a certain amount of "bad mouthing" will occur. I would hope that "naner.. naner" would suffice..

Given the nature of the forum, I think Rules of Debate should be applied.

Ah... another item to debate... I can read it now... "No I didn't!", "Yes. You did!", "Did not.", "Did too", "Nanner, nanner!" But, if there ought to be guidelines... perhaps... but, not all who venture in are debaters or wish to debate a point.. they are simply stating an entrenched point of view that is not subject to debate from their point of view. Any attempt to question this position reaps venom of the vilest sort. I just don't see the need to start a response with "You idiot!".. Frustration can't be that easily developed to require a statement like that... IMO.
