For people to have intelligent, factual discussions?
All I am getting is complaints about the rules in the political forum.
Someone just said to me "dude calm down" when I told him he just can't post "it's Obama's fault"
Anyways, if any of you have any suggestions for the Poli forum, let me know.

All I gotta say is good luck.
Most of the posters will be used to the JJHuddle version which became a name-calling mudslinging contest.
It will take a bit for people to become conditioned for rational debate.

I only went in the politics forum on the other site to sling mud, LOL!! Politics is something no one can agree on so it won't be easy. I say just let them go as long as they don't bash each other or drop cusses all over the place. I mean if someone wants to say its Obamas fault that is how they feel. Sure it will spark debates they just need to becareful how they debate!

I'm trying to keep the Chudecek type stuff out, where you would be talking about raisins, then all of a sudden he says he doesn't eat raisins because Obama won't do a public option.Fab1b wrote: I only went in the politics forum on the other site to sling mud, LOL!!

I am getting so much negative feedback from the rule that you have to source statements such as "studies show" "research prove" "statistics say".
What is so hard about providing factual information?

I would tell them that they can say however they feel but they must tell why.
i.e- It's Obama's fault the economy is screwed because....
Most people are just too dumb to complete the statement ha

FYI I am moving all Obama complaint threads to the Approval/Disapproval thread.
Just a heads up, because the last one I merged was a Belly thread, incase any of you get a PM stating that we should have free speech, whatever.

Questions
To: LJ
I have a question regarding an available Mod position on the politics forum. I would be willing to create a new name if that is needed. I know this has to go through Justin...but I have have resigned myself to the fact that my site isn't going to be much and while I will keep it going...I would like to get more involved here
Umm... who said anything about an available mod position? How about I just had to give him a warning earlier for calling Belly names?

Pffft..his site BLOWSSSSSSSSSSSS...I don't know..maybe it's the colors or something..or the fact that it's set up TOO much like JJ's site. Or..maybe it's the part where he only has 56 members? Maybe a little bit of everything? Hell I just can't put my finger on it..but none the less..his site sucks.

Footwedge is inches from a 3 day ban. First he kept arguing with me about the rule of having to post a source when you claim something as a fact.
Now he just had a personal attack on me.
Next time, I think a 3 day ban would be a good place to start.

I am really getting sick of everyone blaming me of moderating based on my political beliefs. Yeah, deleting your posts and giving you a warning because you called someone "gay" and an "asshole" really has a lot to do with my beliefs
