Re: Potential Rule Change
At first it seemed like a good idea because I've noticed some members who are nothing more than shills for particular people/causes. But I decided to vote against it simply for the fact that I've noticed some mods aren't exactly impartial either, and could very well be just as liable for pushing agendas or belittling a certain person/idea.

Re: Potential Rule Change
I haven't noticed any spammers like that recently, although while I am posting regularly I am not here for most of the time so I must miss the night time antics.
I'm confused about the vote part. When did the hoi polloi start having a say in the rules? That is a sincere question. Forums are definitely not democracies and couldn't be: benevolent (hopefully) dictatorship is the model. I'm just wondering why we are asked for our opinion on this rule?

Which I seriously doubt. This is more about personal issues and pissing matches than it is about "spamming." That's what it looks like to me.

It doesn't matter what the topic is. It was really disruptive and lowered the tone of everything. I don't see anything comparable now.

What I AM seeing are more personal, childish "pissing matches," baiting and insulting bullshit taking place rather than discussing topics. I guess people are bored. We have three candidates running for president that are different only in age, race and gender. They're all openly corrupt liars. What else can we do but attack each other I guess ?
