Other "bait posts" are removed almost immediately, and yet this title remains.

The thread title appears to please the moderation.

Clearly.

How is saying "Obama is Garbage" is baiting? Speaking out against the government is freedom of speech. I am not an expert with the TOS, but i would think that would not be a violation.

It doesn't accurately describe the topic being posted about. Instead, it's an insult meant to get a response. That would be baiting.

What violates ToS is not your opinion, so much as the title of the thread itself.

Publish, post, upload, distribute, disseminate or offer to disseminate any inappropriate, offensive, defamatory, infringing, obscene or unlawful/illegal material, information or content.

It would be great if people just used the title of the article they're posting, rather than coming up with their own baiting nonsense.

Sometimes the title of the OP article is not very descriptive at all, or even pertinent to the discussion at hand.

Then think one up that accurately describes what's being posted. It isn't difficult.

For instance, the actual OP article: "SF Fleet Week could be cancelled in wake of Blue Angels grounding" , says nothing about, "Is Obama being an elitist, self-serving #######?", the actual topic under discussion.

Already done for you.

At a time when VJ moderation invent - on a daily basis! - new criteria for posted content to be in violation of TOS, you guys are actually giving them reason to invent yet another one? Inflammatory thread titles have been around on VJ for years. You all should be used to it by now.

That is the very definition of baiting.

Right, but how can it be in insult to a member to verbally lash out at the government as long as the words don't directly violate the TOS. I think if he would have called a member of VJ garbage then he would have directly violated the TOS. I havent read anything about topics being accuately decribed about the post in the TOS. But like i said i havent been an expert at it.
