You could create a special "USPMT" account that specifically makes these statements. I admit I don't know how hard this is but I think it would work to make a quick. "mods decided this person needs a temp ban because x"

has the reason been stated yet? I didn't see it but maybe I missed.

I don't think the issue is/would be conservatives defending themselves too aggressively per se. (unless the aggression goes way too far ofc)

These are faith-based crisis pregnancy centers and religious business owners that are compelled to pay fines and write placards that have to appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court to get their rights restored. Five justices or more said prior rulings got it wrong. Prima facie evidence that religious freedoms and free speech freedoms hang in the balance for certain faiths. If fines, jail, deprived livelihood, compelled speech don’t equal threat, I’m very surprised at what definitions you’re using.


just think of faith-based pregnancy centers as analogous to sharia law courts. surely you wouldnt say that a sign at sharia law courts indicating that all citizens have the right to avail themselves before civil law courts before they entered into sharia law adjudication would be a violation of religious freedom? we need a strong national culture w a strong legal consensus on individual rights (to abortion/privacy). country before god
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Just subjective enforcement of the tweet rules. Two sentences should be sufficient really. For example when a tweet is relevant to immigration and common sense tells you that, there's no point in me saying "this is relevant to immigration." Instead of using the tweet I could briefly say "so and so just happened" and then make the same post and it would be okay.

Thread has been unlocked.

Feel free to discuss thread bans within this thread. It is in Website Feedback so discussing thread bans is the logical thing to do in this thread.

You can just add more doodsmack. How about what you view as hypocrisy by Trump. Maybe something like how tariffs and america first only apply to other businesses not his own. there is more you can add rather than just venting. You don't need to play thisgame of "just how little I can add before it cen be considered a discussion" one word at a time.

That said, random cheering for and against respective political parties in the thread should also be cracked down as harshly as it is on random tweets.

I like that “you are back on your bullshit” is effective a ban reason.

I like it. The bans have any known duration (min-max/typical[regarding temps])?

I know we've been told the standard ban system has pretty rigid time structures, while the US politics bans seem to be on the opposite side in that they are completely at mods discretion.

Can we put a ban duration range based on post-ban attitude, something like the following?

Good boy ban duration: 1 week
Bad boy ban duration: 30 days

feels more like replacing one set of nonsense with another. but I suppose it is a bit of a change. maybe meandering a bit off topic though, even if some of the posts are interesting.

We so rarely get to talk about collective farming and why it killed 8 million people.

Really? I was quite certain that there was an unwritten understanding of, "ok, Danglars is gone, let's talk communism!" among all USPOL regulars.

Sometimes it is easier to talk about world history he thread doesn’t have to give a collective history lesson to a few posters.

Too much is held in agreement if xDaunt, Introvert, and Sermokala aren't posting.

So it's always back to GH's views on Chavez/Maduro, Lenin, and socialism.
