There seems to be more and more political threads started by you know who on off-topic. I had always thought that they were against the rules but apperantly no so. Could not find it in the rules section. I know people tend to get very heated sometimes and also some here like to post propaganda towards the loser of their choice. Thats all well and good. So what are the rules for political threads?

I too would like to know the rules regarding this.

I log on to YT to read about Toyotas, and things related. I know its political season, but reading new threads about Obama sucks, and Hillary sucks, etc etc is getting old.

i agree. then again its just like football... wait football is fun to discuss

I'm with DeathCougar.

Too much room for nastiness in those threads, and there's already too much drama in the world.

Indeed. 'You know who' reminds me of the type of kid who gets behind in points, then takes his ball and goes home. So nobody else can play.

haha CMon now Gentlemen, no trash talking. We are merely attempting to get a clarification on the rules.

All the liberals getting together to ban political speech/threads.
Sounds about right.

Here is an idea. Don't read them if they upset you. (you can't hang)

WE ARE CLARIFYING THE RULES

Grow up and stop trying to create more Drama on YT!

4Mogger

Please. No clarification needed. You are trying to ban the threads.

DeathCougar

Gimme a minute, we'll work on banning you.

We should ban those cheating patriots......

2008 is an election year, I would be willing to bet that it's going to get worse before it gets any better(I'm talking about the threads, not anything else, except the Patriots cheating)

We did have a Political section at one time, and as you can see below, it is locked.
Read the sticky at the top in there.

I for one do not like the political threads.
They get to heated, flames start up.

So I will discuss this with staff.

I for one do not like them, and I am all for YANKING every single one of them.

Join a political forum where they allow flaming and name calling, as the two go hand in hand.

4Mogger

Ha. I figured you were weak, but I had no idea!
I would never want to ban you. Why would I?
You are fun.

DeathCougar

And now the insults. Classic. Just classic.

You are the very reason we eliminated the political section.

Go to a political forum to discuss politics. We come here to read about Toyotas, not sift through pages of ignorance and rhetoric.

Corey, consider this vote #1 to ban Political discussions all together. I was on the fence until a minute ago, but 4Mogger has convinced me this website has no place for that. It just leads to problems and petty insults (as seen in his above posts)

stormin94

We need ideas for more interesting discussions.

4Mogger

I follow the rules. I do not name call or flame IMO.
But to ban the threads makes YT seem ridiculous.
You would lose me as a regular which I suppose would make more than a few people happy. And you know I would be vocal in my disagreement around the web.
But a completely sensored, rule laden BB is not my idea of an appealing forum.
Enforce the current rules and encourage those who flip out to abstain from reading/participating. That would be the "fair" thing to do.

I agree.
I do not like to discuss politics or religion online.
I will in person where I can gauge a person by their expressions, but online it is different.

There are tons of forums out there that allow this type of discussion.

4Mogger

You post in every single political thread.
You make errors in logic and when called on it, come crying here.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out. YT is a family Toyota forum, not a place to bring your political hate and unrest.
