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.

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!

Excellent! James K. Polk jokes are still on the table.

Yes, he's a loser and criminal
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.

I follow @100YearsAgoLive on X and they are right in the middle of the Coolidge administration. That guy was a trip.

Quote from: rocky_warrior on October 19, 2024, 08:55:27 AMListen, 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.
If you get banned tonight, boys, you get unbanned tomorrow!

A lot of y'all need to upload an avatar.

It was okay in the old format, but now all those blank heads make you look like lurkers.
Have some patience, FFS.

That's what I look like too. So what? I think Chick is body shaming us.

Bump.  Want to comment on current events?  Fine.  But keep the politics out of it.
