Careful. The mods may start axing people for this.
I know but it is appearing more and more likely this site is becoming not worth using. I'd love to be wrong but given the total lack of communication so far it's not looking good. It's not like there is a known rule against it as far as I know. Just having a little fun with the situation.

Does WCN have a political thread?
They have a political forum that can host however many threads are desired on different subjects. But it seems there is one particular thread that is the most heavily used, which would be most comparable to this thread. When I say “heavily used,” it’s not nearly like this thread had been over the years, but that’s because there were only a couple people (admins who appear to be lefties, but they allow posters to engage) who seem to frequent the thread. That of course changes if a whole bunch of new members such as ourselves start frequenting the site.

You do have to ask to be granted access to visit the political forum. It doesn’t even appear in the forums list for you see until you ask and they add it to your profile. But they are pretty quick to grant access. They had it done within 10 minutes when I posted a request.

Doesn't seem like any of the conservatives here have a desire to go to a liberal thread. And if the political forum truly has to be locked because of whatever reason, then maybe its time to split it up.

That doesn't mean that liberals can't go there. But they are going there knowing that its a conservative leaning thread (and vice versa). If they can have discussion, then it works. If they just spam post, troll and laugh at themselves like Tweak, with the sole purpose to just be a nuisance, then they get removed. Don't see how thats a problem, especially when most people have Tweak on ignore anyways.

I enjoy a balanced discussion but thats just me. Ya 90% of their stuff is just spam links and nonsense, but its good to remind me exactly how misguided they really are.

I don't want to speak in an echo chamber, lol. I enjoyed correcting MAGA posters while also exposing their hypocrisy.

You rarely even added to the thread.

Yet here you are, spam posting in this "echo chamber", pretending you got attacked while being innocent.

Have fun talking to yourself, I guess lol. All the people youre hoping to "expose" literally dont see you because youre ignored lol. Dude is talking to himself at this point.

I am curious why you all are wanting a political forum on a sports page in the first place? You're going to leave this sports forum for another to be able to talk politics? I know it has become normalized over the last several years since Rivals had it, but that's not exactly a good reason for another sports network to have it. X has turned almost entirely political and theres a long list of actual political forums, and even FB seems politicized, so I don't know why we need to keep/add it in for a sports forum too, even if it is a voluntary aspect to click on it. Call me crazy. Heck, I enjoy talking politics, but I'm not going to be upset if a private sports business wants to keep politics away. If anything that should be considered a good thing. Politics are on about everything now.

This isnt in a sports forum. Its in a general forum and politics is a general discussion topic especially these days. If you don't like it or want to avoid it, just don't click

There are further reaching implication. Locking that thread because they don't like the content gives a very clear picture of how moderation will be here. So any critical discussion of a coach or player is likely to be met with the same locked approach.

Maybe you want a forum where all discussion is a mild variation of agreement, but that isnt discussion at all. Most everyone that migrated here wants actual discussion, so they will quickly start bleeding active users. Ya the ksr fan boys will stay, but they were already here and not part of the acquisition.

What? Are you asking a serious question, Señor?

Without a Political thread, mods spend more time addressing each individual topic. Political thread consolidates everything.

Between 2005-2007, Cats Illustrated offered a political forum. Helped me maintain my sanity while in Iraq.

Plus we will see political posts appearing in several other threads. Nowadays politics unfortunately permeates everything. Before, we could tell people to post it in the political forum, but now there will be no outlet.

So you are right, their moderation activity will be way up.

Jameslee aka Ed loves to spam this board with leftist fan fiction.

Dion better love Sharia law, because that is what he unwittingly is promoting.
Marxists think they can use Islamists as disruptors, to bring about global communist revolution; it's in their literature.

Islamists think Marxists are useful idiots, that they too are on their way to taking over the world, which they do first through their Mahdi leader to bring about their vision of the end times.

Community is hard to understand? Wildcat fans who have other things in common, enjoy each others’ humor, etc. Not a hard concept.

I actually dont think its Jameslee.. I could very well be wrong, but his posting is far more immature. I felt like Jameslee would SORT of try and have discourse, a little like Sam would. Tweak is just on a troll mission.

Did anyone ask a mod or hear why? Id be curious because maybe someone stepped out of line. But if this was all just because a lot of conservatives congregated here, and they didnt like that, that's a problem.

Which again, my idea of having two seperate political forums (and a 3rd more regulated Middle ground thread if we must), is the way to go.

When I first started posting on the political forum many moons ago I was very much interested in engaging in civil discourse with folks I disagree with. And that was possible back then. But over time the two sides have become completely divided with zero middle ground. All it is, is one giant pissing contest between the two, and honestly the two sides hate each other. I personally put all the libs on ignore, there's just no point in engaging them for me. So I'd love to see us have two separate threads for each other. But, I'd bet the farm that the libs won't be able to stay on their own thread. They hate the opposition more than they care about their own ideals. They won't be able to help themselves.

That's a noble position.
I just really love ridiculing them.
And, its no problem for me to scroll right by their bs.
Hope something works out.

If this place reverses course and allows a thread, I'd love to see you add to the conversation.

He has just a few variations of himself. The jameslee/mid one is exactly the same. You are remembering Jameslee from RR where he posted as a fan. Jameslee from the pt is the exact same persona.

His personas have a shelf life and the paddock is where they come to die. The mid one posted exclusively on RR and now exclusively here. Cal is long gone. A Cal related handle comes across as stupid, even for RR. The same goes for the TrustInCal. He burns them up here until being ignored hits critical mass. Then they are gone and a new one takes over.

When I looked up dion's insights on the meme guy yesterday, Jameslee was still posting in that era. Mid October, 2023. It's all in the og thread, until it's not.

JamesLee has always been nothing but a lemming troll.
I recall he was the one who hoped a young lady would be raped by a black man and killed. He either posted it or laughed at it.

I know that family and today that girl is a Cadet at the USAF Academy with a 4.0 GPA. After graduation next year (class of 2026) she will be entering jet pilot training. That is the type of person liberals hate.
