We're seeing an uptick in people randomly throwing out political bullshit in threads in the Lounge. Don't. Report people who do. They'll get booted from the thread for a first offense and more than that if they continue.
The end.

Due to continued reported posts and general frustrations around inserting politics into absolutely everything, and idea came up to restrict people to DC, much like the Romper Room.
So, everyone gets three thread bans as warnings, and after that will get a vacation in DC (the other forums will be view only). The thread bans and DC vacations will be posted in the transparency thread.
Just like several other rules, there's of course gray area and it doesn't really matter where the line is drawn, because those who can keep politics out of the Lounge will never come close to the line and those who can't will insist on running right up to it.
Generally speaking, we're talking about political opinions or blatantly inserting politics into a thread that isn't even a little bit on topic, or otherwise leaking DC BS into the Lounge or other forums.

So basically the romper room is the rancor pit now?
Guy is bouncing off the walls in there along with his 200 threads and 6,000 posts he has in like 3 months of joining. He has the highest post rate per day Iv'e seen. 50 a day

You do realize what I said was in no way "political" I was only referencing a posters disdain with Reid in comparison to another posters disdain with, well you know who.
That's not "political" in nature in any way shape or form.

I don't even know what post you are talking about. I didn't ban you from that thread and I'm not banning you from this one.
