New Political Forum Format


TitanTiger

Recommended Posts

After several efforts at trying to encourage more serious discussion and redirect people away from the typical snarky posting that has dominated things here, we've arrived what we hope will be a good solution.

We have created a new subforum called "Political Smack Talk" for the kind of posting that has mostly characterized the forum up to this point.  The rules for it are pretty much the same as they have been.  Those who wish to post massive amounts of links to editorials, take snarky shots at the opposition, derail threads with tangents and such can continue to do so in there.  Regular forum rules apply, so it's not a free for all, but feel free to do your thing there.

This forum will be more tightly moderated.  If posts go outside of the rules and guidelines posted at the top of this forum, they will be removed.  You will need to be able to back up your opinions and disagree with people without losing your cool here.  It's our hope that some who have been turned off by the tone of the politics forum up to this point will enjoy this format better, while those who have fun jerking the chains of the other side can keep doing that in the other forum.

We're more or less starting fresh, but we may dip into the Smack Talk forum, where we moved all of the old topics, clean a thread up and move it in here from time to time.

That's about it.  Feel free to ask questions.

One request for this forum.  Please make all posts with links come from reputable sources.  Not HuffPo, Conservative Post, Vox, etc.  Actual news sources, not editorials, would give everyone a much better place to start from in regards to conversation.

I ran across a guide for legit vs biased news sources that is pretty good.  I'd slide a few of those a little to the left like the Washington Post and others they have sitting in the middle, but overall, it's a good guide:
