Rules of the off topic section.

There is also a Report button / link in every PM, too. No need for screenshots--it should send the whole thing in the report itself. (if it doesn't, then there's another thing to fix in Xenforo ;) ).
 
Isn't it funny how things change. It appears that the shoe is now on the other foot and I am the one who is going to be banned for strongly disagreeing that moderators must get paid. I haven't the slightest idea where this came from as this joint has ran fine for well over 10 years without money ever getting paid to the admins or mods.

The only Mod who has ever deserved anything is Amberwolf who really hasn't an extra penny and has selfishly donated so much of his time. I feel it's up to the individual members, like I have, to donate to individuals. The way this is going pretty soon a membership fee will be needed in order to join and read. As I can see this happening pretty soon, I quit.

You seem to want to get banned, you recently started a thread about trump here which is what we both worked to eliminate.

Please stop maligning me, misrepresenting what i've said, and making assumptions about the direction we're going. You're intentionally interfering with my work here over a misunderstanding you have and i don't appreciate it.
 
I haven’t read this thread and I imagine my question has already been answered but I see the forum allows political discussion AS LONG AS it’s respectful. Cant we try that and suspend whoever isn’t doing that?
 
Here's the problem.

Otherwise good people get so heated in these discussions that they consistently ignore the rules even when i give them multiple warnings. If i was strict with these rules, i'd be ending up banning a lot of people who were just having a bad week or whatever.

So instead we only intervene w/the worst of the worst and dump things when they get too spicy after, as usual, everyone ignores my cues.

I'd like to ban political discussions entirely and make a hard line in the sand, literally all they do is attract trolls, but there is a lot of intersection w/politics and EVs that makes things not so clear cut, so there has to be room for nuance.
 
With the election coming up it would be nice to give it another shot and SUSPEND those who aren’t playing nicely. I’m repeating myself hoping others will agree and we can go back to what is an interesting and important topic.

100 percent agree! There are many other platforms just for politics. People should just go there.
