Title: Uhoh no political jokes in the joke thread
Post by: Bamaflyer on October 04, 2021, 08:29:08 AM
From the overlords over at POS, I mean POA

Folks,

A reminder that this thread is for jokes, it's not for political newspeak. We've seen an uptick in the number of non-jokes that are overtly political lately and while we have been more lenient with political content in the joke thread than we would be on the main board, please don't take advantage of it. If it continues, there will be warnings with points given.

Can you imagine the circle jerk those mods have every time they have to give someone points?

Point?

POA has a social scale?

How many points does it take to get a vacation?

It’s time for me to take another break from that board.

"newspeak"

of course, any "joke" poking fun at red necks or anyone perceived as supporting President Trump are fair game...

Typical fuckwad progressives, who are dying to stamp out free speech in favor of speech you are allowed.

If those puzzles ever spent much time here they’d die of exposure to the reality of truth and freedom.

That board has become an echo chamber of assholes trying to out commie the last post.

And you may not ask what points are, how they are earned, or how many points result in what action.  They have a secret list with secret points earned in a secret way that result in secret penalties.

I saw that too. You know, once you are not posting on that board for a bit, it really does play as a bunch of nannying.

The primary problem in my view is that MC have begun enforcing explicitly subjective criteria, claiming to give people points because of their intent.

At least saying no political posts is an explicit objective rule which obviously involves some judgement around the edges. But the subjective criteria are essentially an attempt to create thought offenses.

Let’s move the discussions over here folks. Just as with Facebook, best solution is to just not participate.

Actually, your input there has been welcomed, or at least I liked the contribution. And, the present MC board does seem to allow more things to happen, they are actively trying to be not so smothering.

But in the end it is what it is, and that's why we come here.

Aww thanks. But me leaving has nothing to do with whether anybody there gets anything out of my contributions, it’s based on whether I get anything out of being there.

Plus the enormous frustration when I spend an hour composing a well documented scientifically correct analysis of something destroying some moron’s moronic post, only to hit the post button and get told this thread has been locked.

I get that. I only hang out as I've actually met some people in person and still enjoy going to what limited fly-ins happen these days.
