Forum Rules

Topics tagged under baiting on Omnivoid Imagee12

We understand that discussions about #politics and #religion can become heated ones -- and that's perfectly okay!  We want you to be fired up about the topics you're most passionate about, but we encourage you to do so in a way that is unoffensive and civil.  A debate on a topic is one thing... arguing is a completely different thing.  Debate is strongly encouraged -- arguing is not.

Furthermore, we'd like to note that this forum is non-biased and non-partisan -- while all of our admins, mods and users personally hold different opinions and beliefs, when moderating this forum, the personal beliefs and opinions of the admins and mods are never conducive to the ultimate determination of an issue.  Mods fulfill their duties from an objective standpoint and instead base their decisions on facts: did someone instigate an argument?  Did that person use any language or perform any action that violates this site's zero tolerance policy?  And has that person already received warnings of the same nature?

Please utilize the following rules and considerations when in the Current Events forum:

  • No #baiting, #flaming, or trolling.  Do not intentionally post comments designed to coerce other users into an argument.  Flaming, as defined by Google, is the posting of "vitriolic criticism" -- in other words, bitter and/or malicious responses.  Finally, trolls are individuals who often utilize baiting tactics online by acting in a manner that is deliberately offensive and/or provocative.  In fact, there is a #ZeroTolerancePolicy of this behavior, which means banishment from the site immediately.
  • Do not use political #propaganda terms offensively.  For example, you may not refer to someone with oppositional views "libtards," "feminazis," "sheeple," "rethuglicans," or any other similar terms.  Not only are these terms offensive, but they also invalidate your argument.
  • Do not insult another person's religion.  Please continue to feel free to observe the religion objectively, but we ask that you do not attack or shame someone for what they believe.
  • When discussing news, provide your sources so that other members of the discussion can see where you're getting your information.  Along this same vane, do not post articles that are blatantly satirical and try to pass them off as fact.
  • Follow the #GeneralRules as well as these.
