Board Rules about Political Posts: Please Read13511
 CBCS Pressing
|
SteveRicketts private msg quote post Address this user | |
| In the past there has been no rule about discussing politics on the CBCS Forum. Violations happened if there was a disruptive post or if posts became personal disputes between users. The moderation team has decided that it is time to modify the rule, or in this case, lack of a rule. Going forward, political posts will not be allowed on the CBCS Forum. Let me repeat that; Going forward, political posts will not be allowed on the CBCS Forum. This is the one and only warning. Making posts about (but not limited to) political subjects, political parties, or someone else's political leanings will result in the offender being given a strike. My hope is that everyone here can talk about the one passion we all share, and do so in peace and harmony. Each of us is different, and that's what makes us awesome! Happy collecting! Steve |

| @KatKomics I'm going to let it float for a day because not everyone reads the stickied threads. This will give more people a chance to see it. I'll pin it tomorrow. I'm also going to add the rule to the forum rule threads that are already pinned, but I may not get to that today. |

| Thank you. This place should be a safe haven for nonpolitical discussions. There were many threads that have gotten locked because the discussion veered off to politics. This should be, first and foremost, about comics related stuff. Which side you affiliate yourself with is your business, I am just here to poke fun at PGX and drool over good slabs I wish I had. Bless you all. | ||

| If y'all need a political fix that won't raise your blood pressure I suggest "The Crown" on Netflix. Been watching every night for the last couple weeks. Seems the Royals have a knack for falling in love with people that custom does not permit them to marry. It's politics British style, lol. | ||

| I'm definitely happy with this... very happy. My lone caveat burning in my gut - there's always that gray area, particularly with comics. And it's the gray area that worries me; not the black & white. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller Great series! Top notch acting (Claire Foy and Matt Smith nail it) and it's a walk through history. Harold Wilson was my favourite British PM to interact with the Queen and my fave episode was 'Dear Mrs. Kennedy" in Season 1. And yes, Royal protocol messed up a bunch of lives. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Maritimer @Maritimer, It took me about 4 episodes to really appreciate just how good the acting is. Claire Foy and Matt Smith both have amazing screen charisma, but Matt Smith steals the show in my opinion. The only actor I could think of who might portray a young Prince Philip better would be Jude Law. |

| In four years some people are gonna have a hard time. There's always someone who just can't resist and it's the gray areas where it usually starts, like if someone wants to discuss the ASM Obama cover. I know absolutely zip about what happens between the covers, so I don't know how political it gets, but just having him, or any former president on a cover can open the door. | ||

| But out of the thousands of covers of different books, why tempt fate with a political cover? After the warning, common sense should say skip it. If not you take the suspension, apologize and learn from your mistake. |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I made what I thought was an innocent remark and I got a 1 week suspension. I apologized to the moderator and took the suspension without argument and I carry on being more mindful on what I choose to say and participate in. If a person chooses to enter a grey area that is a risk they take. If they get burned then just like a child touching a hot stove they learn consequence. If they are incapable of learning, then they dont need to be participating in my opinion. There isn't a law forcing folks to comment even if the cover is politically tinged. Im told even a child can learn not to be blatantly honest about the overweight stranger or homeless gentleman. I've seen plenty of covers I find "questionable", I skip over it and go check on the ones I do like. Hell there are conversations I find rude racist or just offensive. I step past it. Its part of being an adult. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I agree, but there is always "that person" who can't resist once a gray area opens the door. The late ConditionFreak was that kind of person. He got a time out every time iirc- He just couldn't not post. |
