Guys, we're seriously considering a moratorium on political threads, seeing how it tends to divide instead of unite our community. But before we go that route, we'll first try strict implementation of this longtime rule:
I realize that there were many past posts that were blatantly impolite, and yet ignored or allowed to proceed. Moving forward, we shall impose official warnings for
each infraction of the above rule,
even if you are only replying to a previous insult. Earn enough warning points in a spcified period, and you might actually earn a ban.
It doesn't matter how long you've been around, or how good/bad you were in the past. From this point on, we shall be implementing this rule strictly, and on everyone!
Some notes (I'll keep adding as they come up):
- Placing swear words in asterisks, such as a** or f***, would still be considered insulting if addressed to someone on NP. So saying "Hey so-and-so, you're an a**!" is not ok, but saying "So-and-so politician is an a**" is ok.
