“Flame” posts are strongly discouraged and will be heavily moderated at the moderators’ discretion. Flame posts include hostile and negative posts directed at an individual member, the moderators of these boards, or any member of The Pork Community Inc. staff.
DUE TO THE NATURE OF POLITICS WE UNDERSTAND THAT HEATED DEBATES CAN TAKE PLACE BUT BLANTENT NAME CALLING IS NOT ALLOWED AND WILL RESULT IN YOUR ACCOUNT BEING BANNED TEMPORARLY OR PERMANENTLY AT OUR DISCRETION.
THERE IS A NHB POLITICS FORUM HERE FOR THOSE WISHING TO DISCUSS POLITICS IN AN UNMODERATED FORUM.
1) We discourage discussions of the board itself or of moderator decisions. If you have feedback on either of these two topics, please direct your questions to admin@the-pork.com
2) Threads are to be in posted in their appropriate forums. Posting duplicate posts across additional forums is highly discouraged.
3) The moderators are all community volunteers. Their job is to keep the forums productive and positive. From time-to-time you will see them edit posts just to make a comment. These comments are intended to assist keeping the boards on track. Moderator comments should not be edited.
4) Do not repost threads that have been locked or deleted and do not repost content that has been edited or deleted by the moderators.
5) Spamming is not allowed on these forums. THIS INCLUDES POSTING MORE THAN THREE NEW TOPICS PER DAY IN THIS FORUM.
6) Do not defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others.
7) Do not Engage in hate speech including, but not limited to, racial, ethnic or religious slurs
8) Do not repost private emails without the participants expressed permission.
9) Do not publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or information.
10) You may not advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business purpose on these forums without permission from The Pork Community Inc.
11) You are prohibited from using the forums in connection with pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming or any duplicative or unsolicited messages (commercial or otherwise).
12) You may not harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including e-mail addresses and IPs.
13) Please DO NOT post entire articles on these forums. You may post a paragraph or two and link back to the original but these full length articles need to stop. It's encouraged (but not required) that you should also post your opinion on the subject in addition to any quoted text.
If we see you posting topics over a period of time with no real opinion of your own then you may be banned from the forum. This is a DISCUSSION board and if you're not a moderator then you should be here to discuss topics not just start them.
These rules are intended to provide further, more practical guidance for users than provided by the Terms of Service. In any situation where the Terms of Service conflicts with these rules, the Terms of Service supersedes any of the above rules.

In addition to the rules above:
This Politics forum is meant for serious discussion and I will also be removing those that are clearly not here to seriously debate Politics.
"Tin foil hats", "Nobama" etc. type of comments are not welcome on this forum. Go play on the NHB Politics forum.

Thank you, Cradz. I'm glad someone agrees with me! I'm sick and tired of topics being started like this.
If you're going to start off a new thread at least add some of your own thoughts to the topic. How are we to know what to debate about when all we see is a lazily copy and pasted long boring $%^ing article when the author can't even express their thoughts on what HE OR SHE STARTED???
THANK YOU!!!!
