Because of past problems the Moderators in Politics will be clamping down on certain sorts of behaviour which has tended to disrupt discussions and cause needless flaming to occur. In order to prevent this sort of behaviour you should be aware of a few things.

First if you are posting an article it should have written commentary by you or it will be considered SPAM and you will be Formally Warned and the Thread deleted. By commentary I mean that you should post either a negative or positive view as to give the article a good jumping off point for discussion. So please remember this.

Trolling and baiting by calling someone unfounded names due to thier political stance or opinion will not be tolerated at all. Discuss the subject at hand or do not post. If you do attempt to get away with this sort of behaviour you will be Formally Warned and than Banned if you continue.

I will be adding to this as the Moderation Staff discusses more avenues of prevention. So please come back and read this thread periodically.

Thank you,
Dyshade

Addendum-----

Please only post 1-3 Articles a day as any more than that is not generating discussion only SPAMming the Forum. Let the Articles at hand be discussed. Too many Articles at once will be considered SPAM and will be dealt with as such.

The Threads posted before this Warning will be allowed to stay. But please be aware that this will not be tolerated any longer.

How about not covering the same topic with several threads?

Or would this be too subjective?

If I notice the same thing going on in several threads I might join them together...

Can't say fairer than that.
