political content in custom titles etc.

this is kinda wierd one. there's a couple of people on here with what could be, and i'm not sure about this, kinda dodgy (to my mind) political messages in their location/customtitle/username.

Now guess I can be pretty sensitive about some stuff, but i was just wondering if this was ok?

thanks.

Specific examples, please? Email me if you'd prefer not to post them.

Oh please, Raistlin. We get along because people obey rules; if people aren't obeying rules, then the moderators need to know about it.

As for posting to an obviously doomed thread, well, people also slow down for traffic accidents. Personally, I think it's cool as hell that people are responsible for themselves, and that as a result the moderators have to do so little work. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Incidentally, posting something offensive (not that your post was, although it probably could be construed as rude) and then posting smilies doesn't actually fool anybody. Who knew? *grin*

Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the planet this morning.

The best thing about EN World, which has been true since Eric's tenure, is the fact that the membership polices itself. That's what makes it a community. If some of them are flip when they reply to a thread which is obviously against policy here, oh well. Especially if it's a thread posted by someone who knows better.

I'm not sure what I "know better". Given that you're not sure what particular things i'm refering to, then i'm a bit confused what you're getting at.

edit: and this thread wasn't supposed to be against policy at all. i like the non-political tone here has it allows me to have good interesting conversations about DnD without getting into arguements about politics all the time. and i would get into those, because having looked at nutkinland, there's plenty of people on these boards who i respect as DnD fans, but whose politics i abhore.

I'm not talking about this thread. I'm talking about political or religious threads posted by members who have been here long enough to know how things work.

Read Raistlin's first post.
