it's it netiquette to not introduce a piece of quoted text? ooh... and there should be an "I don't really care, that's what the Cesspool is for" option.
Though CC has changed his rules in order that he might throw out any thread, the Cesspool is, generally, for threads which break the rules, yes? There is no part of the rules of, say, relgion, WE, P, or EM&J that prohibits threads without commentary. No, there shouldn't. You're either supportive or you aren't.
Rules for the Religion forum, in particular, will be changing in the very near future. Not that I want to pre-empt the results of this poll...
Since I'm the only dissenter so far, I should explain myself: I like the cesspool purgatory for badly-crafted or otherwise useless threads. I think the cesspool is an admirable method for open moderating, and leaves a slight chance for badly-started threads to be redeemed- Far preferable to unseen hands yoinking "proppaganda threads". Those who don't want to, don't have to look in the cesspool, so there is no reason for indignance.
Then maybe propaganda threads should be banished to the cesspool. That's a good idea hype. I vote that the rule be changed to banish propaganda threads to the cesspool.
Moving them to the cesspool would be best probably. A shame really, it would lower the quality of the cesspool. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
rap, why dont you just change the poll to another 'ban' (or in this case 'move') all of PM's threads, since all of those examples are by him. but in general i think moving {propaganda threads} to the cesspool = good idea
To the sewage pool yes. Total ban no. I believe that it is better to know where these people are coming from and worry about who gets to decide what unpopular stances are propaganda.
Why do we need a poll on this anyway. Can't the moderators just change their own policy and start removing the propaganda threads? If someone objects they can start a poll to get them back in.
propaganda: - "information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause" the information is the poll, and the cause that you are promoting is to have propoganda removed this thread is propoganda Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
