So, are we no longer (in the open forum) allowed to talk about Religion & politics?
Our recent discussions have been . . . . civil.

If not, how come?

and does that mean the "some fun" thread is actually going to be deleted with all it's 1-worded posts?

if said rules are actually enforced this board could become extremely boring. a technical board is helpful. but a board without any fun/humor is a waste (IMO).

it was said by a (now former) member - this place is nothing without it's members.

+1. I agree.


Oh crap. I just broke the rules.

No way!!! I'm just about to eclipse the 1K mark, and we're gonna cut out religion and politics???? :'( :'( Hmmmm... I wonder how many oil questions I can ask? Is 20 unreasonable?

Just kidding.

I'm guessing those are just guidelines as opposed to rules??? Please. ;D

I nearly posted a similar thread today - seems like there is some confusion as our mods post in the political and religious threads with their opinions.

"The Honorable President George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ."

Discuss.



EDIT: Correction. No disrespect intended to the office of the President.

 

[Manuelcasi]

Once again It is President Bush...... Honorable is for judges  : ;D :

 

[Flatline]

My gut tells me that the "no politics or religion" rule will be overlooked unless and until the discussions get mean. At that point, the rule could be enforced.

My gut also tells me that a DQ Blizzard would be good right now. It's 9am; my gut is a psycho. ;D

 

[DrummerDaveB]

So, are any mods or Rob going to comment?

I mean, it was a serious question. Are you guys cracking down on the type of discussions we can have (ie Religion & politics)?

 

[Happy2BNekid]

Better still, do the posted rules only apply to the main message board since that is where they were posted. I will keep my thoughts to myself about a lot of the posts in the open forum but I cannot see banning politics and religion in the open forum. Seems the open forum might as well be removed if that is the case. I PMed the admin asking this same question.

It didn't sound like a serious question... so I won't comment!

;D

Oh man, just when I thought that this board was giving my brain some fun, entertaining stimulation....

Looks like it's going to get pretty boring around here. I know I'm new, but I was really liking this place. Now what am I going to do with the boring 8 hours in my day?

don't worry. we'll find ways to entertain ourselves. even if it means resurrecting the backup board!

 

[HartSplash]

What's the back up board?

Yeah yeah, I know, I'm breaking the rules.

 

[Muddturtle3]

I don't think there's much flesh left on that dead horse.  You guys are like a bunch of old spinsters bitch about how crappy everything is.  Do what you normally do and keep it civil and you have nothing to fear.

Pssst-- Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.


One complaint leveled at the mods/administrator when enforcing forum rules was that there was no formal boundary line. Now there is, so it makes things that much easier for the mods to defend their actions since they need only direct the attention of complaining posters who have been moderated to that warning thread listing the boundaries.

Methinks as long as discussions are civil and not belligerent, we will be allowed to continue to stray from strictly motorcycle topics as we have in the past. Use some sense and we'll be fine...




p.s. Sorry, I just watched The Terminator: "You're moderated, *&^#%!"
