Summary execution of posts on the political forum are just another attack on free speech. If they contain no profanity or direct threat to other posters they should remain.
Perhaps you could take that up with one of the Adm's and express your opinion.! This is a privately owned site, and his rules determine what is allowed or not!Some pretty good rules, and we as Mods try and help to enforce them. Don't always set to well with some folk, but what the heck.........Ya can't please-em all! If you think your being treated poorly, then PM the Mod or Matt or GB.
Below are a couple of the rules.
Trolls, GBO will not tolerate "TROLLS" anyone suspected of being a troll on the forums will be dealt with promptly.
[size=78%]Baiting Members, GBO has a zero tolerance policy for members who try to bait other members into violating the rules and "Terms of Use" of the GBO site. Those who bait other members while themselves trying to stay within the letter of the rules are in fact in "violation of the spirit of the rules". As such the member baiting another member is subject to the same actions by Moderators or Administrators as the baited member should the member then violate site rules in retaliation or in response to the baiting. This rule applies to all members of GBO regardless of membership status or rank. [/size]
Nuff said!Perhaps we can now get back to the topic?
