Trump threads and general behaviour

[Steve-FreeOnes]

Some of this is echoed in the other pinned thread in this sub-forum but let's reiterate it as we go along.

1) NO MORE TRUMP THREADS. There are already a shit-load in here. If your post doesn't seem relevant to any of them then you're not looking hard enough. We don't need any more. If you post any more, they will be deleted and you will be warned.

2) If you are of an easily upset disposition as relates to your political beliefs, don't read the threads or post in here. FreeOnes cannot be held responsible for your crying if somebody calls Donald Trump a giant Cheeto or Hillary Clinton as crooked as a boomerang and you don't like it.

3) Behave yourselves. A couple of members have already been warned as to their conduct in this sub-forum recently. If you can't debate without resorting to personal insults then you will be warned. If you keep doing it, you'll be suspended or banned. There's absolutely no reason why we can't all be civil on here and it will be a far more readable sub-forum if you are.

4) Unacceptable behaviour also includes taking shots at somebody's grammar. This isn't a goddamn spelling bee or English Language A-Level so stop taking shots at peeple who you dont fink dont talk gud or you'll be warned.

5) There have been complaints about some members who don't actually contribute to conversations but rather just post links, turd vote and / or post allegedly hilarious animated gifs. As far as I'm concerned this is shit-posting and while it's not technically against any rules, this sub-forum would be a lot more palatable if you had something to actually say rather than posting rafts of links to Breitbart or CNN, or pinch gifs from Imgur.

This sub-forum has been a lot better recently since everyone was told to behave and, aside from one or two people, everyone has been a lot more respectful. But please consider how much you're contributing to a discussion before you post and if you have got some links to share, how about sharing what your opinions on them are? Or if all you want to post is a gif of an animated Trump piddling on the grave of democracy, how about you don't.

6) In case you hadn't noticed, there's been an election in that America. Regardless of whichever idiot wins, keep posts civil and bear in mind all the above rules or else.

7) Legal challenges notwithstanding, within a couple of weeks of this post Donald Trump will no longer be president of the United States of America. The rule about no new Trump threads in this sub-forum still stands. If somebody wants to do one on what I'm sure will be a fascinating post-politics life in FreeOnes Talk, by all means go ahead. BUT ONLY ONE.

8) The 'The Trump Presidency' thread (https://board.freeones.com/threads/the-trump-presidency.905248/) will be closed on January 20th 2021.

9) Let's not have a shit ton of threads about Joe Biden please, once he becomes president.

We are slacking on number 5). Posting links with little to no discussion is not against the rules but frowned on because it usually adds nothing to a thread.

10) Another point I shouldn't have to make but apparently have to for the benefit of some crapwits on this forum. If you happen to be a huge misogynist and / or incel and insist on making that clear on this board in your posts, then you can enjoy yourself a nice holiday away from it, leaving you more time free to attend Proud Boys events.

11) People are being arseholes in this forum again. Please stop being an arsehole in this forum again.

12) I'm reliably informed that people are being personal with their shit again. Again, if you can't have a conversation about politics without getting personal or being insulting then maybe you're not grown up enough for politics. If this fits your description, don't post in here.

More importantly, you've made me come in this hellhole sub-forum and now I'm mad.

Adding an advice from personal experience:

If you realize taking part in the discussion of Politics etc in general or about specific parties or people in particular makes you mad, do like I do:

Take a Holiday from the Politics & Religion Section.

You are welcome

13) In the run-up to the next US election, I am absolutely begging people to take heed of everything that is written above so I don't have to come in here. Especially 5), which seems to have become an issue again. What is the point of just posting a bunch of links with no discussion? What does that achieve? If you don't have anything to contribute, don't post.

Unfortunately there's about to be another election in America. Please read 6) and comply, thank you.
