We definitely support open discussion. I don't care what your political leanings are. But political posts frequently degrade into personal attacks. For that reason, politics are not allowed on TSPcenter.
Below is an example of a civil discussion on a political policy. This kind of post is perfectly fine-
Below is an example of an unacceptable inflamatory post on the same policy-President Biden/Trump Infrastructure Bill is prohibitively expensive, but could spur economic growth
Notice the first post opens up to discussion. The second post is just a statement of opinion, purposefully inflammatory, that adds no value to a discussion.The demoncrats/republitard infrastructure bill hates America.
As for general civility, I expect all of you to be adults and take the high road.
If someone makes a personal or political attack toward you, don't retaliate with the same. It is okay to respond to someone's personal attack with a reasoned, non-attacking statement.
Do not use history of other personal attacks to justify doing it yourself.
We have only two moderators and we both prefer to be lenient, and politely ask people to be civil. "Banning" doesn't accomplish a whole lot, honestly, because banning a username and an IP address doesn't prevent that person from signing up with a new account and stirring up more trouble.
