Listen, some of you are out of control. From now until after the election, if you mention a candidate, current president, or even joke about current political events, you'll be forced off the site until after the election.
I've tried to allow some political banter, and issued a few bans. Right now though, there's too much and I don't want to determine intent anymore.

The new rule:
If you mention a candidate, current president, or even joke about current political events, you'll be forced off the site for 3 weeks.
And of course, the mods have discretion about the interpretation of that rule. Lucky you!
So, in other words, this site is down until Nov. 6, aina?

Nope. Many of you can control yourselves. But it probably will be down sometime in there as I finish the upgrade.
Heard. Thanks for your work, rocky.
It will be interesting to see how many will test you!
Pari Mutuel betting thread opening soon, hey?
...cut it out. I mean it!....
...anybody want a peanut?.....
Gah!
What's the ban total up to this afternoon?
Once Fahrenheit gets untwisted, he'll update us, hey?

You're a brown smudge.
Wow, we're going to get a lock on a moderator started thread.
Scoop you are outstanding!
Rocky, update?
Yeah! Keep banning stats. We could have a heck of a betting pool or drinking game.
Rocky only gets the easy bans
Did Rocky ban Topper?

Did Rocky ban Topper?
Yes, but Topper banned him back. So there!
This is how I'm picturing Rocky right now:

Hey, Farva.....
I assume anyone with the name "Hidden User" is someone who has been banned?

I sure hope so
Frankly, this has gone so well, and you all have obliged... It's "permanent"!
The new rule:

And of course, the mods have discretion about the interpretation of that rule. Lucky you!
Thank you!
I agree that this probably was necessary, but it's a shame we can't have rational conversations that might have a political bent.
For example, Yahoo Sports has a piece today on how the election could dramatically affect the future of college sports. That's an interesting topic well worth discussing. But we Scoopers probably wouldn't be able to discuss it like adults - and yes, I'm including myself - so it's a no-go.
Anyhow, nice job rocky.

Ive got so much Millard Fillmore/Whig material Ive been sitting on but was too worried to unleash.

Yes, he's a loser and criminal
I follow @100YearsAgoLive on X and they are right in the middle of the Coolidge administration. That guy was a trip.

If you get banned tonight, boys, you get unbanned tomorrow!
You missed the update.
Is "Crean sucks" still ok, hey?
Can I say politics from Texas are dumb?
