I suspect the point is, the only thing a link to an actual fake news website will do is stir up shit and piss people off. It's knowingly false. Therefore there's no real reason to post it - other than to start shit.


Which admins have decided this forum doesn't need any help doing.

[txdot-guy]

It’s called trolling and it’s fairly obvious.

satire

no. and that's kind of the fuckin point. you didn't post it to highlight the hilarity of the post, or if you did, you neglected to mention that part.


Site mgmt has been pretty clear what's allowed in here. Bullshit "news articles" posted without comment will do nothing but make more work for mods in here.


Try posting it here instead https://www.eccie.net/forumdisplay.php?f=6

Better look at that screen shot again. And I will repeat the question. Do you believe what you read on the onion? Why would you think that the post was a bullshit fake news article? It’s satire… which is still to make a political point.

In the larger schism of political discourse on the internet, yes, satire has a place in political commentary. However here in this forum, site mgmt has made it clear it isn't to be posted here.


What is it about *that* you don't understand?


Also, continued bitching about site moderation could be considered a guideline violation.

[texassapper]

Im a big believer in rules. If satire is not allowed I’d love to see where in the guidelines that’s spelled out…

What guideline am I violating for asking why satire is not allowed because it will cause users to violate guidelines in response? Let’s take that to the logical conclusion… you can’t post anything that might make another person violate the guidelines…


Essentially we shouldn’t have a political sub forum because it may cause some people to violate the guidelines that are basically aimed at the rest of the board.

Continuing to respond to me may be seen as a guideline violation as well… why continue to do it?

You'll have to take it up with the person who locked your thread. Like you should've in the first place, instead of posting a tantrum about it.

Noting the number of closed threads and those that contributed to them before such will show a pattern.
