Bannings and Suspensions

[nurko]

I admire admins and moderators for the extent of their nerves and the ability to hold things together.
Having to explain to someone that putting a political candidate and directly your political opinion in your signature of your every post, is indeed related to politics, is something I could not imagine needing to be done. Especially on a football forum that is not in any way whatsoever related to said political candidate, the upcoming elections, nor is it of interest for the vast majority of users of said forum, aside from a few that are indeed interested in discussing politics. And, one could expect common sense to prevail that maybe there are some other forums more fitting for such discussion.

I figured it was you, lifelong Republican. Anyways, I will remove it, but you guys are unfair at this.

It was actually me who pointed it out to other mods and then we decided to remove it. And just to end any implication that mods punish content they don't agree with as it has already been mentioned few times on this thread. Personally i politically identify myself at centre-left and i definitely want democrats to win. Not that it really interests anyone. But this isn't the place to show our political support. No politics allowed means no politics. Without asterisks or exceptions. I understand if you don't agree with it and you feel you have been silenced but these are forum rules and you need to respect them, like the rest of us.

Mods simply act based on forum rules and guidelines. Nothing more, nothing less. We may make mistakes (i made a big one recently myself) but i can assure you there's no bias in our actions.

no one here gives a fuck about your political affiliations - go to reddit or somewhere where someone gives a crap. this is a football forum for discussing football related things

(i realise that might come across as addressed at il drago, it isnt)


also what is it with some americans and feeling the need to impose their opinions on everyone in the world. I'm surprised the phrase 'first amendment' hasnt been uttered yet.

I really don't think making broad generalizations about Americans is the solution to our problems, mate.

What's happening with the forum lately .. How did it come to this, this is quite depressing tbh.

Is it because there are no matches and people are bored?

Just an idea for the mods/admins, edit and update the forum rules page.

Way back in the days when I read the rule about not being allowed to trash inter if you're not a fan, I chuckled, it's such a smart and funny thing to point out... Sadly now there should be rules about politics ON A FOOTBALL FORUM BECAUSE... Ill stop here.

ffs...

Apparently you don't lol

Are you admin? My question was for admins.

Which mod will bring @Broseph Stalin in for his struggle session?

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Don't tell my what to do. It's my profile and I have a right to show support of my chosen candidate.

The admins and mods can set the rules here and it's our responsibility to either follow them or being given grace by the mods. I've already abused my grace and then some and, as someone who will no doubt be voting Democrat this year and every year that I live in this country...you're being obtuse.

Well, I did not see that rule. No politics discussions, sure, but I did not know about signature. Apparently, It’s ok to tell the fellow member to gtfo without provocation. In any case. I’m passed that. It’ all good.

The way the last few pages of this thread have played out justifies the rule around no political discussions, and also that a dedicated thread is a bad idea.

[Broseph]

Hey don’t hate me I’m voting for Kamala

Yes if political signature is not allowed neither are usernames Should be modified too.

 

[ADRossi]

Alright, Broseph Stalin is now simply @Broseph. If you want a different username you have a week to let me know

Could've just shortened it to initials...you know, BS...

That gives me an idea...

If it is unfiltered political talk you want and you want to either laugh at horribly idiotic political talking points or soak them in as brethren...then join the WhatsApp group if you dare.

I'm team mods on this one. I love me a political debate but this forum isn't the place.

Also - lately we seem to think that being blatantly racist is somehow 'political' expression. A racist post is a racist post. Let's not pretend that it's the expression of some 'political' view. Such a deterioration in the last decade or so that people feel emboldened to express their ignorant racism and then cry that they're somehow being persecuted for having an 'unfiltered' or 'not politically correct' view lol
