We're seeing an uptick in people randomly throwing out political bullshit in threads in the Lounge. Don't. Report people who do. They'll get booted from the thread for a first offense and more than that if they continue.
The end.

Due to continued reported posts and general frustrations around inserting politics into absolutely everything, and idea came up to restrict people to DC, much like the Romper Room.
So, everyone gets three thread bans as warnings, and after that will get a vacation in DC (the other forums will be view only). The thread bans and DC vacations will be posted in the transparency thread.
Just like several other rules, there's of course gray area and it doesn't really matter where the line is drawn, because those who can keep politics out of the Lounge will never come close to the line and those who can't will insist on running right up to it.
Generally speaking, we're talking about political opinions or blatantly inserting politics into a thread that isn't even a little bit on topic, or otherwise leaking DC BS into the Lounge or other forums.
MFer says "LIBERATE MICHIGAN" and you wonder why things like this happen. Give me a fucking break dude. Wait until people like Claynus find their nutsacks and decide to do something with their toy shotguns, instead of just openly calling for murder on an internet message board. This is how it starts, and you call me out for down voting your idiotic vitriol. Fuck off.

Don't blame me, I took a break to go watch the son's marching band performance. I'm innocent (and a victim)... :-)
Can't believe that shit about Reerun. Jesus. You'd think somebody dealing with VIPs of that level (regardless of whether or not they're pieces of shit) would know better than to talk about specifics. At all.

LOL. No where have I defended Marxism. I *have* said, REPEATEDLY, that you morons have no idea what Marxism is, and if you had any clue what it actually was, you wouldn't clutch your pearls in fear whenever you hear the term(s) "trained Marxists" or "Marxism."
