This is a flu post, partner. Nobody makes you read them. Banning shit is for weaklings who can't argue their positions. Talking about something isn't necessarily fear mongering, but I guess we're lucky to have you to make that decision for all the rest of us.
This attack makes absolutely no sense. I'm merely reporting to the admins when a post egregiously is trying to astroturf this place into what the rest of the internet has become. If you can't see that a new poster with 5 posts all only talking about "muh Italy" is unsubstantiated fear mongering, then you're beyond help.
I appreciate that, and I definitely get riled up about censorship, too. My patience for astroturfing leftards who want to play legalese with our rules, however, has run out a while ago. lol
My definition of "new poster" here is someone who has five posts, literally all this morning, all saying just about the exact same thing. My assertion is in line with how T_D worked on just about a daily basis, so I can only assume you must be new here and were never there. The morning shill deportation is practically a tradition. Oh and the rules? They're on the sidebar!
Your insult attempt is weak and reeks of a lack of reading comprehension, or someone who last general cognition to understand context.
We dont need concern trolls who are too stupid to utilize current data and believe everything the liberal media says. The fact you pussies are following us over here and bouncing on our dicks proves you are nothing more than pussies who needed us, and not the reverse.
This post did a great job at rooting out the Chicken Littles. There were 2 or 3 that I saw with accounts less than an hour old, with a dozen or more comments about how we're all gonna die. It doesn't seem to occur to them that coming here, of all places, and saying "the media is right" is going to fly like a lead balloon.
Good points, but to be fair, we should still be pro free speech. You don't want to become what you oppose. See - if somebody writes something silly or something you disagree with - debate him, insult him, troll him - but outright censorship is bad.
See it this way - assume you fight ideas. The only way to propagate your ideas and to defeat others is to talk. If you censor each other over words and bad ideas, people won't change their mind, and see you as intellectually intolerant - and thus have a reason to oppose Trump and his supporters because "look at them." We want us to look good - and in my opinion we do a pretty fine job at that.
Now the complication is this: Wanting to look good may goes contrary to the idea of free speech. Having fun and joking may yield offensive things and hurt weak people's feelings, but trying to moderate everything meticulously will kill the forum, make it sterile, less popular and boring. But how about this: The sheer fact that we have a high magnitude of free speech is the very thing that makes us appealing.
And if it means some (not too many, gotta maintain a concept of proper border control) leftists spew their crap and get verbally nuked - so be it.
I'm deporting anyone who has <5 posts that are all unsubstantiated virus fear mongering.

Maybe I was a bit harsh. I get riled up about censorship.

"New poster"
This entire board is a few months old, if that.
Practically everyone is a "new poster".
I don't see the totalitarian rules you want to enforce posted anywhere.
Not only that, you don't immediately convey the intelligence required to make such a call.

Seems like a reasonable qualifier
I think you got everything so far, I will let you know if it flares up again.

DANG IT MODS ARE TOO FAST. I'm not seeing the shills. What are their talking points today? Can anyone sum it up so if I see one I can blast em

They were basically saying we complain about free speech and then yell deport a user if we dont agree with them.

Do you know what unsubstantiated means?
