Keep your political bullshit in DC and out of all other forums

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.

Existence is political

In that case, Baby Lee has been banned from the thread.

Not really.

Kareem Hunt killed Bush and did 9/11

Mahomes should develop a Rust Belt strategy if he wants to secure the MVP this season

How do avatars come into play here? If you'd rather not see political avatars in the lounge I'll change it.

That's political?

Shit I guess I have to change mine too if you change yours.

Oh wait lol - I forgot I already changed it.

I support this policy.

Historically, avatars and signatures have not been considered "posts" for the purpose of the rules. Provided they're not overly obnoxious in some way.
