Wait seriously? They made you take it off? This place really is Saudi.

The other day one of the moderators posted a political meme about liberals in one of the cake threads. The meme featured a photo of a man being thrown to his death by ISIS, a photo which was widely circulated in the news media.

It was removed by another moderator because while apparently it looked like a staged bungee jump it had the potential to cause offence. Not because showing someone's death as political entertainment is actually offensive or anything like that...

Incidentally did anyone see that the TOS has been changed to include as TOS violations obscene language and evading the site language filter?

It's very ironic that the standard of what is family friendly doesn't follow the standards of what is considered family friendly in US culture - bikini shots and mild swear words feature in G and PG rated movies so exactly how does anyone reasonably define what is or isn't family friendly.

We are now in the territory of having community standards that don't reflect the cultural standards of the USA.

Imo the rules are now so complex and numerous that you really need a law degree to have any hope of applying them correctly and consistently.

yes, i wonder who asked for that change to begin with.....

I asked for it. It's no secret. However I only asked for it because TOS violations for evading the language filter and posting 'unacceptable language' were being handed out inconsistently by the moderation team.

the inconsistency is most likely due to the lack of assistance in policing/reporting by other members....

It's not political. It's about whether or not profanity is allowed on the forum and if evading the word filter by coming up with creative ways to spell swear words counts as a TOS violation.

The answer apparently is that apparently both are against the rules. I asked for the clarification because language use wasn't covered in the existing site TOS and enforcement appeared to be inconsistent.

Here's the thread:

There are very few Conservatives on this forum. There are quite a few right wing extremists though.

The only conservatives I've seen here were BJ and PM. The rest are in the category you described above.
