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.
Fair enough.

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.

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

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

Getting silenced at a football forum because of your political posts seems about right. I get it's a thin line you guys walking on.

Because most of us have been wandering around here for years, we know each other ''well'' on the forum. Then you get people not only talking about football but also about nonsense (football related) or daily news matters. On the one hand, that is a good sign because people feel confident to express this. On the other hand, it causes problems for you because how far can people go under the guise of freedom of speech?

Just like with the Inter players, I don't care what political preferences people have, that is not why I am on this forum. If I want to insult people for that reason, I'll go to Facebook or Reddit. Sometimes the bomb has to burst to make it clear to everyone what the manners and rules are again and that's fine. You guys are doing a great job in moderating and are part of why it is a nice place here.

Do I always agree with what the mods do? No. But fortunately, as in real life, not everyone has the same thoughts.

It would be fucking boring if we were all the same.

You guys found a loophole around political talk by talking politics with the in the bans and suspensions thread. Smooth. I have no issue with support for kamala harris, she's a great speaker, super intelligent, and I'm rooting for her.
