YotaTech Rule Amendment
As YT undergoes several updates and backups, the rules are also going to be revised. As with any forum, as we grow... adaptations are always necessary.
____________________
Rule:
YotaTech supports land issues and encourages board members to become active both in the discussion and awareness of them whenever possible. At times these discussions can and will be intertwined with political issues. YotaTech strongly discourages discussions of political or religious nature due to the inability of such topics to be resolved through an online forum and the resulting arguments that often occur when dealing with such matters.
It is anticipated that our members will naturally have different and possibly strongly held opinions with regard to religious and political matters. It is also expected that members will respect each other's right to their personal views, opinions or lifestyle. This forum strives to maintain a family friendly environment. If you sat down to dinner with friends or family that you knew had alternate views, you would not bring up such topics for discussion. The same social rules of respectful engagement apply here. Agree to disagree, Toyota interests are the unifying factor here..
If a member is compelled to continually express their political or religious viewpoints on YT, the user will receive a warning. If these topics are persistently posted, the user will receive a temp ban and finally a permanent ban. If a member feels that these rules are an infringement of their personal rights or liberties, that member is welcome to find any of the other countless forums available whose rules and guidelines will allow the full expression of their religious or political viewpoints.
____________________
Upon final revision, this rule will be added to the current "rules" link.

It was coming sooner or later, no matter if it was 4mogger or anyone else who created the issue.
Its nothing against him personally, but YT is a much better environment when we all can discuss what we came here to....toyotas....without having to wade through pages of political non sense, proaganda, heresay, lies, and two "sides" fighting over the internet. So IMHO the rule change will make it so that no one, left or right, will post up political jargon in the future.

The first time I remember checking the political section of "YT" it was shut down. I haven't seen much of this maybe on one thread.
But hey, we are all here to talk about trucks, not presidents (however I have seen some interesting forums, like people getting married, or fixing up a lawnmower).
I agree with Elvota's statement (or rule) proposed. "Agree to disagree". Simple as pie.

Hey - IIR he (4Mogger) said there was no explicit rule about it on his posts on Pirate about this so well, I stood up and said... well we'll MAKE one then Seriously the number of complaints we've had about his political threads is in the "lots"... Us Mods have better things to do, so we made a clear cut line on the issue.
This is after all a Toyota 4x4 forum, not a political forum (Ok one or two posts maybe but 15 or so in 2 months and nothing added to tech? Tsk Tsk Mr. Mogger.... go find a political forum to do that part of bantering on.
I'm not taking a side per say, just enforcing the PG-13 rules And we all know that political threads right now until Next November would be very heated. Us Mods don't have the time to mod all that... and unfortunately some go beyond agreeing to disagree... it gets personal and we don't tolerate repeated personal attacks.
That's pretty much why this rule/guideline was created

I think this new rule or modification of existing rules is a good idea. Several us are members of several different forums, moderators included. One thing I really like about Yotatech is that I don't have to worry about my kids looking over my shoulder and catching something that is inappropriate for them to see.
I take a different tone (as other members of this forum do) when they are on places like Pirate, TTORA etc etc. When on those forums I try to do it when the kids are away for obvious reason.
I applaud Corey, Molly, Elvota, Fink, Aviator etc etc for doing their best to keep this a good forum for all ages...
you can always go to here if you need political stuff : http://www.politicalbase.com/people/.../17015/forums/

We thank you for understanding.
Our name is smeared pretty bad over at Pirate on this issue thanks to 4mogger.
What many do not realize about YotaTech is that this is a forum intended to be safe for viewing at work and with family.
If anyone disagrees with that, there are many other forums out there in which to discuss these sensitive topics.

i don't care one way or the other. i don't come here to determine who to vote for i come for knowledge on my toyota vehicles. i will say this though, the site does have a liberal undertone. i don't think the site acted unfairly towards 4mogger. i remember a few months back there was a poster that would turn a tire thread into why Bush is a nazi. he got the same number of warnings and when staff was finally fed up he got the boot.

Nope... nobody smeared. (A few edits for YT standards.)
