Freedom Of Speech! Please use THE CLUBHOUSE forum.....
 

.....if you’re starting a thread on a controversial subject with political overtones, or just simply controversial and likely to become argumentative.

That’s why THE CLUBHOUSE forum was created.

Do NOT use the Lobby for those types of threads.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Please.....and thank you.

Thanks again everyone!

Your cooperation on this is very much appreciated! :thumbup:

Just a friendly reminder.

Bump to the top.

Freedom of speech.

No deleted posts because they don’t fit the standards of the open forums, so no hurt feelings.

No threads moved from the Lobby, no hurt feelings.

You start your thread in the proper forum (THE CLUBHOUSE) because you understand that your topic may lead to replies that aren’t Lobby material.

Threatening someone in THE CLUBHOUSE with bodily harm however will get you removed permanently from the PY forums, other than that.....

All waiting for you in our special forum that’s dedicated to any type of discussion.

Embrace THE CLUBHOUSE.

It’s there for free discussion.

Again our thanks.

We encourage you to discuss controversial topics and issues in our Clubhouse forum.

You might get your feelings hurt if you’re not able to enter into a discussion with someone who has the opposite viewpoint, if that’s the case then don’t participate.

You won’t get your feelings hurt because your posts were deleted or edited by a moderator. We don’t moderate that forum.

However in order to encourage participation in the Clubhouse we will remove any trolls residing in there. Members who are in there to simply name call or otherwise stir up trouble won’t be tolerated any longer.

We have absolutely no problem with members who spend most of their time posting in the Clubhouse. Members who like to participate in political or controversial topics are welcome to do that, however trolling members are no longer welcome in the Clubhouse. The unmoderated status of the Clubhouse is no longer a shield for those who are there to disrupt.

The Clubhouse welcomes you, it will no longer be a cesspool. It might ruffle your feathers during a disagreement, but we hope to make it better so more members will enter and discuss some topics that don’t belong on the regular open forums.

Thank you to our thoughtful members who have helped the PY forums by starting their topics in the Clubhouse.

Clubhouse trolls - consider this thread as fair warning.

Soon we’re going to pull the plug.

Jump in.....the water’s fine.

Guess what?

Posting political views and arguments in the Lobby isn’t allowed here.

Freedom of speech on a privately owned forum has its limits.

We try to allow as much political discussion in THE CLUBHOUSE as possible. However when it’s used as a venue to trash our moderators who do their best to maintain the forums per the owner’s wishes we have to draw the line.

Suspension of certain members who are repeatedly violating this posting rule WILL happen.

We will move your thread from the Lobby to the Club House at the first mention of anything political. Blame the person who decided to post the name of a politician or mention of government policies in your thread not us.

Also any thread we see discussing a potentially controversial subject may get moved as well, as is our right to do so as moderators or administrators without having to explain our reasoning.

We have the Club House for controversial subjects and political discourse. Use it and not the Lobby to start your thread.

See your thread moved from the Lobby to the Club House and decide to start an identical thread in the Lobby to push back against the moderators?

You’ll be suspended.

Notice that your politically slanted response in a Lobby thread was deleted and then decide to go back into that thread and post a similar response?

Same outcome, suspension.
