    Default Please stop posting non-current event type stuff in 'Current Events'

    Look, believe it or not, we don't really want to be super anal about this stuff. It's not like we just go through current events everyday looking to shitcan threads that don't fit the criteria. But we've asked, moved, and closed many threads many times of people posting either completely spammy irrelevant stuff, or personal 'call out threads' to other forum users, or posting articles that are 2 years old on purpose, or sometimes spam bumping threads that the top 50 most recent threads are all old news.

    Can we just... like, not do that?

    Current events is not your facebook wall. It's not your personal soapbox. It's for relatively current news related items. We want some semblance of organization here, and we don't want to have a bunch of low effort off topic war zone related stuff constantly spamming up a forum.

    Again, this isn't something that needs to be micromanaged or anything. Just try to be a little more considerate? Maybe stop try to force your ego posting on everyone else? Like, we have off topic. It's a fun forum. I'm there all the time. Lets hang out. But please, give it a rest and let everyone here have a forum where they can go for current happenings, as that's pretty integral to a political site imo.

    (what's the reasoning about different 'Forums'?)

    I don't know how to do that. I would have to leave it up to the professionals.

    Maybe everyone should just post in the War Zone, ... that way nobody can get hassled by The Man?

    Asking morons to post on topic doesn't make much sense, because they're morons. Isn't it impressive enough when they use topic titles that actually tell what their post is about?

    Maybe we should just do away with this 'Forum' bullshit and just post whatever the fuck you want to post? i mean, does it really matter?

    Maybe you should set up your own forum and pay the server fees. Then you can do whatever you like.

    It was just a suggestion.

    It was a stupid suggestion, IMO.

    If you don't like JPP rules, leave.

    It seems that liberals and illegal immigrants always want to change a place into the kind of shithole they refuse to stay in.

    Yes. Some people want to keep to the subjects they choose.
