| Description: | A place to discuss politics without egomaniacal mods |
AboutWelcome to a forum where you're free to discuss politics in an open manner. Before you post, take a look around and see what the place looks like, or check out the latest recommended section for our latest best posts. If you have any questions or complaints, please report on the Special Mod Thread. The rules will be simple:
1. Try to be civil. If you must attack, attack the opinion and not the person.
2. Here's a definition of trolling. Please do not try that. Many of these cases will be decided on a case by case basis.
3. It's unfair to make posts that don't allow comments. These will be deleted.
4. Please lj-cut long posts. If you're not sure if it's long, just cut it anyway.
5. Do not delete, freeze or screen someone else's comments. If someone deletes your comment please inform a mod ASAP here!
6. Posts that solely include an advertisement of either a LJ community, a personal LJ blog or a commercial product will be removed. Mentioning these as part of the narrative is fine though, as long as that's not the sole purpose of the post. Same applies to campaigning for a cause, or non-political topics. (Exception: Friday Lulz).
7. English is the preferred lingua franca. There are chances that if you say something in another language, you wouldn't be understood by the majority of readers.
8. We strongly encourage personal opinion and analysis, rather than posting a one-line comment/question, a single link, or picture, copy-pasting some article or embedding a Youtube video. This is generally considered low-quality and would in most cases be removed. Don't be so lazy, we're interested in your personal position! :)
(The only exception is the regular Friday Lulz thread (what's that?)).
9. Be so kind as to refrain from offensive personal references in your posts. This is considered trolling.
10. Explicit (NSFW) imagery is not recommendable. But if you really insist using it, and in case it's topical, please do not display it in your post/comment, but at least have the courtesy to link to it with the appropriate prior warning. Some readers might not appreciate seeing blood, violence, or sex on a public forum.
11. Plagiarism cannot be tolerated in the community, as it violates Section XIII of the Terms of Service and could put the community or its users at risk. Please cite what you quote from, as any sort of infringement of this nature will have to be deleted on sight.
12. If you post a topic and comments are posted, do not delete that post. Notify the mod staff at the Special Mod Thread if there is a circumstance regarding a post with comments that needs to be addressed.
Ongoing initiatives: The Book Club / No Citations Allowed / Friday Lulz Thread / Monthly Topic Poll.
