admin_270 788 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hi everyone, All update information is posted on the blog ( http://270soft.com/blog ). This forum is for posts about 270soft games. Posts about politics where it is directly relevant to the games is fine.GuidelinesStay On Topic Stay on topic on the threads, simple as that.Offensive content No offensive content, bad language, etc. If you post something like this corrective action will be taken. This is not intended to exclude legitimate political debate where appropriate. 270soft reserves the right to define what 'legitimate' political debate means in this context. If someone is articulating a sincere political view, making rational arguments for it and citing evidence, and not attempting to be inflammatory simply to be inflammatory (which is sometimes tough to judge), then the moderator will probably allow the comment, as long as the thread isn't getting out of hand. If a thread is getting out of hand, the thread will probably be closed. Advertising Political Sites If you want to advertise a forum or political site of yours, e-mail us first ( http://270soft.com/contact/ ) and tell us what it is. If we say it's okay, then you can go ahead and post it. We will probably close the thread afterwards. Finally:No Personal Ad Hominem Attacks This requires some common sense. Not good: "Bob, you're stupid." Better, but also not good: "Bob, that idea is stupid." Good: "Bob, I disagree with that idea, and here's why." Not good: "Bob, you're evil." Better, but also not good: "Bob, the views you hold are evil." Good: "Bob, I believe some of the views you hold, if implemented, would make our society worse off. Here's why." More light than heat Keep your comments fact-oriented and if you want to attack, attack an idea, not a user. You might be challenged in your beliefs. Two smart, well-informed people might disagree. It's OK for someone else to have a different opinion - please respect that. Thanks, The 270soft Team Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This rule seems to be a gray area on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Usually, they just re-dressed up an old "koneke/dindu" quote, in those cases, as I recall... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, RPs on the forum are not relevant content themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This forum used to be dead before we started talking politics — the common thread that binds us, even when we disagree. There’s only so much you can say about the game — I’d check in maybe once a year to see if there was an update, instead of multiple times a day to see if there’s an interesting discussion. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for this - I'll update that guideline. The de facto standards have changed, and I tolerate a significant number of political posts. The point about not being inflammatory just to be inflammatory holds, though. If someone is doing that, please bring it to my attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least that was the tenor of his rambling screeds of the two days. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
