I know the intention is to make people think before they post, but that is more likely wishful thinking than something that will become a reality.
Thought about that. Ultimately decided to go with disabling it entirely, but if the reality after a bit shows we need something, then sure.
As with any feature I introduce, if it clearly isn't working as intended, it can be changed or removed (two way blocks, anyone)? But this seemed like the best starting point, so we'll see how it goes.
Ultimately, something had to change to make this section worth the hassle; can think of this as a first draft, if you like. If it works out, awesome - if it doesn't, we take the lessons from it and try the next thing.

oh, so now I'm "you people", how very uncanadian of you to say.
faux canadiennes doesn't mean "young Canadian females", as faux means fake, or false.
Still, I am no French Canadian, which is what term "Canadienne" means, not "young Canadian females". So you failed twice here.

implied versus actual usage.
Actual usage wins.
might as well stop while you're behind, and stop failing.
Or i'll call you failiahfk.

We could... if we wanted to see PnR spill over into random thoughts, and every other thread.

Cake versus Pie, the ultimate form of random P and R.

Honestly we have block function I think moderation should take a hands off approach. If you don't like someone block them.

Being insulted is part of life if you can't handle it on a website I can't see how you will get through life...

I post as Drama Torama when I'm participating in the discussion (or moderating actual P+R talk). I don't use it when I'm just being social or acting as an administrator.
Honestly we have block function I think moderation should take a hands off approach. If you don't like someone block them.
Or, posters who don't bring anything of value to the discussion can just not be allowed to post anymore. You in particular generate a tremendous volume of complaints with posts that somehow manage to be both nonsensical AND offensive, so I can see why you'd want less moderation.

The only reporter you need to understand is April O'Neil from Channel 6 News!
Hi!
So, at some point this week, the March FFXIAH patch will hit, and with it are going to be some changes to the Politics and Religion section. I've given it a lot of thought, and consulted both the moderators and some of the heavier posters, for what I think is a viable and sustainable model to keep this section flowing while still maintaining a sense of order. If you have questions or concerns, ask them here.
Below is the node that will serve as the new top post in Random Politics and Religion - it's the changes, followed by the original top post from Random Politics and Religion, as a reminder.
