I've given it a lot of thought, and consulted both the moderators and some of the heavier posters Does this mean that the guy scamming Mosin is fired? Who will replace him?
Rooks might have a 'no negotiations with terroristsboycotters'-stance.
Quote: If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here. Is this rule absolute or will it depend on the volume of the OP? I thought about making a series of 'What happened to [...] crisis' for a while.

Nah, just a guideline to give an indication of the general sorts of things that go in the RPR thread vs. topic specific ones. If you feel something should get its own thread, have at it!

What is this catch-all rule? Catch-all rule said: -Don't be a jerk. If a moderator shows up on your doorstep and you have to ask "What rule did I break?", the odds are pretty good that it's this one.
Also, this rule should be applied to all parts of the forum, especially a certain thread in the Undead section.

Out of curiousity, how many weeks do the random threads last? In our talks, we figured twice a month or every 100 pages. Not sure if that's changed. Every two weeks or so, I assume.

I would figure 90 days would be more than sufficient, but hey.

Well, I want it to be relatively quick. It means being topicbanned at the drop of a hat for starting trouble is a punishment, but not the complete lockdown it used to be.
Also, the timeframe is vague for a couple of reasons:
- I'm not going to lock/move a topic with an active discussion just because it hit some arbitrary page count/day limit. If there's a lull and it's about time, then sure, but a couple extra pages/days isn't a big deal.
- If there's an exact timeframe, then that just gives people a window where it's like "eh, a day of topicban is worth it to call Altima a <insert whatever here>".

Yeah I wasn't expecting a fixed countdown, just a general idea.

I think P&R topics need a new report feature, or a report option like "Instigating a fight"
There are 2 posts in the Random P&R thread that's just that, but it's neither "excess hostility" nor "It's harassing me/another user"

Well, as Kojo said, the original idea was twice a month. I've had suggestions come in all over the place on how long/short it should be, with decent reasoning behind them.
For now? We're just going to see what happens, and adjust from there. If it ends up being 90 days? Kind of long, but okay. 9 days? That's okay too. Feedback on this is appreciated.

Starting a fight is excessive hostility, though. I'd just use that for now, and if it's really a common thing I can add it to the reporting reasons later I guess.

to make a post, you have to have energy points.
you have 150 Energy points
3 energy points regen every 5 mins
-post has a limit number of 100 words.
-each PR post consumes 15 points.
-Editing a post consumes 50
-you get 1 energy point per [+] you receive
-you loose an energy point when you receive a [-]
-use new P&R Postcount points to buy items, such as a Sword (can attack an user in a post, and reduces their energy points) or shield (defends against said attack)
-use AHCrstals to buy more posts with no word limit, Counter Shields (defends and counters, stealing attacker's energy points)
-fancy ms paint animation of an avi attacking another avi
-get level ups in P&R XP
idk.

Would the Abortion thread and the Gun Control thread be separate DLC or would they be offered as part of a Season Pass?

In true Square tradition, they'd be DLC, but they would cap at three pages a week for a year.

To be fair, it would cut down on unnecessary posts. Whether spamming memes as a retort or "Well, 'so-and-so' said this, but I'm taking the high road. Hey, everybody! Watch me take the high road! Look at me! That other person is terrible, but look at me!"
Just saying. Cut the extraneous crap out.

I doubt it would cut anything out, but at least we would make so much money from AH Gems that we could drop google ads and start posting anime *** again.

True. I just noticed a recent up-tick in it on the heels of this announcement.
WOO!!! AH Gems! Can they be used for an errant curse word on images, also?

The "edit" function will no longer work in the P&R section.
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.
