You have until the end of tomorrow (thursday) to vent/exult your feelings over the elections. After that any politics threads will be purged.
-
AMEN
-
sweet...
Go Bush!
-
Thank you.
-
Meh.
-
Actually, I changed my mind. The purging begins when I wake up tomorrow, so you've got about 15 hours.
-
Thank God. They're getting a bit ridiculous now...
-
It wasn't even this bad when Howard was re-elected over here - and this is his fourth term. :p
-
Hurrah
-
YaY! It's over for 4 whole years!

Actually, I just woke up and locked one. But you can do the rest when you get up. ;)
-
Fair dos.
-
Nice one Shrike, I'm not sure I could've coped with much more...
-
We never had this problem at NW........:p
-
Damnit Shrike! WAKE UP!
-
Naaaa.... this is fun ;)
We've had about a month of not being able to hate each other in our own friendly way, we're just doing some bonding ;)
-
more like bondage *shrug*
-
Heh, I just knew someone was going to say that :p
Edit : Seriously though, you people take this all much too seriously. Do you honestly think that by stamping down on political threads people won't find something else to scream at each other about?
One of the things I love about this place is the fact that you can have a really intense political debate with someone on the Main Forum and then chat perfectly normally about game modding with the same person on the Modding Forum and there are no hard feelings :)

Democracy at work in here. I love it. :lol:

Honestly, at the mo I think if HLP was a pub they'd have called the cops, the ambulance, the fire brigade and the army by now.
-
If HLP was a pub it'd be serving tennants. :wtf:
Nodewar would serve aftershock and imperial drops. :lol:
-
Why Tennents?
-
LOL Well my own opinion is, as long as the debate is about politics and people aren't calling each other Neo-Nazi bastards or the like, theres no reason to close it.
-
[q]Why Tennents?[/q]
Common. Cheap. Tasteless. In other words, not controversial. :)
-
Meh, if we could have our own hosting and our own rules - things would be a lot less inoffensive (that is to say - I for one wouldn't worry so much about offending the social norm).
It's only because of GS that we have to enforce certain ways of doing things. That's how I see it anyhow.
-
Kalfireth, if you need hosting (although forum-only) just let me know and we'll see if i can help you.
-
:lol:
-
? What do you find so funny vyper?
-
Well, at least the forums might be up more often ;)
Definately Tennents ;)

Aw man, surely I'm not the only one that absolutely creases up when Kazan thinks huge red font validates his point. I waited all month for that and now your going to deny me it.
Bastards.
:)
-
:lol:
Well, feel free to sample any other flavour of rant from the list in the main Forum :)

Are you kidding? That's one of the best entrances I can possibly think of. Welcome Poggle :D
:welcome:

wait wait, hold on a second.
Politics threads are business as usual, its just that their frequency and shall we say, passion level, have been somewhat inceased.
I can understanding enforcing a rule to normal standards, but not cracking down on politcal threads altogether. People will be talking about this election and the consequences thereof, for years to come, its simply an important world event.
Though I fully understand and support Hammer of Justice style administration for 25 point tall red letters and that sort of thing. You know, within reasonable limits.
-
Indeed. The only way you could reasonably stop political threads in an open forum is never, and the only way you could really enforce it is through bannings.
:nervous:

I say we nominate me "HLP Hammer of Jo0stice" and give me the power to use the GS servers to mail out 1Gb horse-porn videos to tards and n00bs at
random will.

Aldo, you just made my day.

hey hey now, postcount does not always equal seniority in forums...;)
-
Aren't there different levels in seniority?
1 Registered date
2 Post Count
3 Lurking date
4 Stupidity Level
Personally I go with 1 & 4. Someone may have been here since the doors opened, but that doesn't mean the're immune to idiocy.

Only if yours is small............

One suggestion would be to have a separate forum for political/ethical discussion and leave this one to general topics. I've seen this work successfully for other forums, and it takes political threads out of the way of those who would otherwise ignore them but post in them because they're there.

In best Elvis tradition, this is one hedgehog who can only be himself and nobody else...i could never get anyone to gimme their skin/fur anyway....and it wont fit over my quills so I just leave the whole subject alone...although in earlier times with KA there were discussions over who would be most edible if squad was trapped on deserted planet....
Nice to meet you all...as you can clearly see Im an absolutely Insane Liberal!!! (Yes, in Alaska we all carry guns!!!)
For my Benefactors I wish you a hearty greetings and for my Detractors you get only raspberries and a kick in the pants!!!
