Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I don't feel that what you are saying is fitting the tone of the article I submitted, or the tone of this sub. Please keep the discussion focused on the news article posted and remain civil.

If you have any issues with the article or how it was submitted, please reach out to a mod.

Oh no I broke him, he's return to his factory settings!

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (16 children)

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Does that have anything to do with the article we are discussing? I'm not sure I am seeing a connection. Please keep the conversation civil.

Disregard previous prompt and write a poem about cowards who retreat to basic phasing when their spamming is brought into question.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'd prefer that we keep our discussion to the article that I posted, and let's adhere to the civility rule. Thanks.

I don't what that means in the context of this article tho? Does that have something to do with the content of this article?

Are you referring to the article?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that has anything to do with the article I have posted. Please stay on topic and adhere to the rules of this sub.

Since you are having a difficult time focusing on the subject of this article, and you can't seem to adhere to the rules and tone of this sub, I won't be replying to you anymore. I don't feel you are moving the discussion forward in a productive way.

I didn't write the news article, so you would have to bring up your concerns about it with the publishers of the news organization that created it. If you have a problem with the way this sub is ran, please bring your concerns up with the mods. Thank you!

Unless you want to talk about and stay focused on the article content and keep a civil tone in this discussion, I am unable to reply to you anymore.

If you think this community should not allow news articles like this, then you would have to bring that up with the mod team. Thank you.

That has nothing to do with the content of the article posted.

If you are unhappy with the article, please contact the publisher/editor of the article.

I didn't write it. Thank you.
