Review Time?

[Henro]

After seeing Skeets’ post locked so quickly, I think it might be a good idea for all of us to review the following, taken from a stickey at the top of this sub forum:

...this Off Topic forum is not one of those "anything goes" locations on the internet.

Please keep your postings:
* free of jokes or humor which are more than PG-13 in nature
* free of racial, political and religious commentary
* free of pictures of videos which are sexual in nature, depict nudity or show violence against other human beings or animals.

Damn, I missed that but I'm sure they must be mistaken cause I know my buddy skeets would never post any swear words or nudity of any kind but it's alright if you email me my friend.

Most posts in the thread got deleted., which one violated the rules?

Was it mikesters post that unvaccinated people on ventilators should be unplugged and let die so the vaccinated could live? Doesnt seem too political to me . psycho would better describe it but doesnt technically break the rules does it?

COVID is a political topic on this forum. Anytime I see mention of it and people start arguing back and forth about it I am reporting it. I reported poor Skeets thread…not his fault it went the way it did but we dont need that kind of back and forth. No one is going to convince anyone…..Glad the mods acted quickly and my apologies to Skeet we all cannot keep our maturity hats on when it comes to this topic.

I didnt see any politics in that thread. Covid is not political topic its a health topic.

The "Let 'Em Die" thread was OK though?

 

[Fordtech86]

Does anyone else smell the politics in here?

Wouldn’t expect any less from OP

 

[jimh406]

I agree. OP likes to stop the conversations along with his party and a few others here. Can’t win on the facts stop the conversation.

 

[skeets]

FYI guys. I asked for it to be locked or removed! I asked a simple question about travel nothing more, one simple question! And somebody has to bring their personal views in to it, that is pure BS boys. Nobody cares what you believe, I least of all ! Ya wana talk about tractors, guns, horses, motorcycles or what ever cool, but leave your politics out of it

No, Skeets is innocent. He asked for some simple advice and things went astray... I hope he got help here or elsewhere...

 

[Henro]

The "Let 'Em Die" thread was OK though?

LOL... As the OP in that thread, I can say that is the reason I started this one!

I found it unfortunate that the opportunity for Skeets to get some worthwhile advice was cut short.

Wow!

Suggesting we all follow the rules of the site and specifically this sub forum is a political statement?

Wow!

Wow!

Didn’t expect you to get it.

And this sounds familiar from you.

How about renaming the OT sub forum to OT:Tractor related?

Just a suggestion. Might help focus the discussion....

Didn’t expect you to get it.

Actually I do get it, and what you are trying to accomplish:

"In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous or off topic messages in an on line community, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception. This is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process."

Not my words, but I do not think we need this activity here...

Next step: Please go back and read post #1...

Thanks for that Henro, I needed a good laugh today

I looked up the thread. The first reply gave all of the information to skeets on the rules from a .gov site.

Seems like you are trolling to me. I’m not sure if you are going for members or moderators though.

 

[Henro]

Eventually I will learn that even posting something reasonable will cause others to come out of the woodwork and try to stir the pot, for reasons I still have difficulty comprehending...

Next step (again) one should reread post #1 in this thread. Then if he/she has issues with what is stated there, he/she should take it up with the site ownership.

Of course, there will be some who think this is unreasonable as well...

Perhaps its time for another subforum. One other forum I'm on has one that seems perfect for this. They call it the cesspool. You go there at your own risk. One visit was enough for me (and most folks)

Not sure how that relates to following the rules here, which was the point of the first post in this thread.

Maybe a link to that cesspool sub forum at the other site might be helpful to some here?

Maybe you should tell us what part of skeets thread that got locked broke the rules? You know since you seem to be running the place now and all.
