if we can`t have that system perhaps we can at least agree that there should be some penalty for posting an inaccurate thread title?? Or leaving out an important word in the thread title? We have several members who do this just to push everyone`s e buttons!Man, the community pretty resoundingly voted against this change the last time. They even tried giving everyone two options with the discussion club. The insult free version was an unmitigated failure. I hope you guys know what you are doing and I hope this doesn't drive activity way down.
The major problem is that people are free to just lie about whatever they want with no repercussions. We asked for a system to infract people deliberately posting misinformation but the mods agreed that it was too subjective and difficult to enforce. At least we were able to call liars "liars."

Is adding lies and redirecting and enuedos and half truths or misrepresentation from the truth going to be permissible!Are you fellows really saying that politics can't be discussed without personal attacks and name calling? I would submit that if that's the case, you have nothing to add to the discussion anyway.
The rules don't say you can't challenge what someone else has to say, they simply say you can't be an ass about it. What this means in P&N is that we'll have to address the issue raised, not the person who raised it. I'm sure you'll be able to communicate your disagreement without personal attacks.Is adding lies and redirecting and enuedos and half truths or misrepresentation from the truth going to be permissible!
I'm saying ignorance, hate and lies should be met with equal resistance. The reason name calling has gotten so bad is because normal discussions are not possible with the 2 to 5 members who are only here to divide.Are you fellows really saying that politics can't be discussed without personal attacks and name calling?

Well, now you'll have the opportunity to sharpen your rhetoric and use your obviously superior political acumen to enlighten those few deplorables that you'll no longer be able to swear at. For the record, those fellows will have to follow the same rules, so the playing field should be pretty level.I'm saying ignorance, hate and lies should be met with equal resistance.

I don't know that I ever swore at anyone here unless they got personal first. I just enjoy seeing the dogs get their nose rubbed in their crap when they take a dump on the forum. Some things (that I've already mentioned) shouldn't be tolerated IMHO.Well, now you'll have the opportunity to sharpen your rhetoric and use your obviously superior political acumen to enlighten those few deplorables that you'll no longer be able to swear at.

As if deplorables are interested in honest discourse.Well, now you'll have the opportunity to sharpen your rhetoric and use your obviously superior political acumen to enlighten those few deplorables that you'll no longer be able to swear at.

You must remember that you have to make sure that any posts that you consider not to be personal insults have to also look and appear not to be personal insults to other people reading thew post! Just because YOU don`t think they were does not necessarily make that tue!!I don't think the parameters for insult/personal attack are very well defined, I had a post warned for it, and I've seen other posts edited that were not insults/personal attacks.
