We've been recieving some flak lately and I just wanted to clarify a few points.
1. People from other forums are perfectly welcome here - so long as they're here to be here and not just for the sake of their other site. That's why we don't let non-staff have links in their signatures. No one likes spam.
2. Please, please try to contain the number of threads you start. If you start a thread about, say, Israel, that starts with an article or other outside source, and then a few days later you find another article or outside source, don't post a new thread. Post to the previous thread. This isn't a rule, it's a request; it keeps things from getting cluttered.
3. It is a rule that if you post an article you must also post your own thoughts with it. Again, we're just trying to prevent clutter. And spam. No one wants spam.
4. You should all be aware that it is our interpretation that rampant racism is a violation of the original forum rules. THIS APPLIES TO ANTI-SEMITISM. Note that there is a difference between being anti-semitic and being anti-Israel. One is racial; one is political. While we want to encourage people to partake in discussion on a wide variety of topics, racist conspiracy theories and neo-Nazi propaganda are too far. There are other places on the internet for that kind of thing, places where people actually care. If you have a problem with this policy, you have three options: 1) Just deal with it, 2) Send one of us a message complaining about it and then just deal with it, or 3) Leave. Finally, please note that while you can send us your complaints about how things are run, this doesn't necessarily mean we're going to act on them. It'd take a lot more than one person yelling his head off over "mistreatment" to get us to change the way things are run here.
5. Happy holidays.
