OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
 

Yah know, when someone posts a commercial post here, the poster gets flammed big
time, even if it is on topic and related to Jeeps. So now we are in the US
Presidential election season and we've got people posting things that promote or
disrespect one candidate or the other. Aren't those posts just of form of a
commercial post? I mean they are trying to change the readers opinion and
encourage them to vote one way or the other.

I propose a complete moratorium on Presidential political posts. They are
nothing but commercial posts selling a candidate, which is barred by the groups
charter. If you want to sell something just make sure it is Jeep related, FS or
FA.

Now in the vein of keeping things fun and to help those confused by Real Life
vs. the Internet check this out. Made me laugh, especially the part about
discussing Politics on line <lol>. (Warning it is 21 megabytes and probably
rated PG 13 <g>)

This group isn't NEARLY as bad as some other groups I read. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Until this is a moderated group there's no chance of avoiding them. Even if
the usuals around here don't post them, someone else will SPAM the group
with them. I just skip em' all, they all pretty much turn into pissing
contests at some point anyway.

Re: OT Please No more US Presidential Politics
 

It just really gets to be a drag when you log on and 100 out of 110 new
posts are some local area's political crap.

It 'is' off topic for the group and against the Charter no matter who
starts it. Moderated or not, this group does have a Charter that is
posted and talked about, so ISP's actually will take complaints
seriously, but that is a pain when 3/4 of the regular posters or lurkers
even don't give a crap...

Folks need to use some self control when they get obviously trolled.
Too many folks here swallow it hook line and sinker and then disrupt the
group with hundreds if not thousands of posts. I can't say I am
innocent of that either.

I am gone bush running Saturday for 10 days so hopefully can come back
to catching up on Jeep posts and not 1000's of BS posts to wade through
to find them.....

It is a RAMJ+W run with folks from here joining us.

Ya, I'm on alt.autos.toyota and I'm wondering if anyone will actually post a
non-OT message soon.
