Ahoy Forums Members,

As we're all aware of it's that time of year were political and election discussions reach their highest peak. However through out history we all should know that they tend to get heated up and don't usually end well.
So in order to keep the peace we ask that everyone ease up on the political/election discussions so that we don't separate ourselves by our political beliefs. Their is a difference between mentioning what political side your in favor of and trying to hurt the image/reputation of the other party.
Political/Election discussions when they get out of hand are filled with drama and flaming which we have zero tolerance for.
We define drama and flaming as:
No Drama
We do not allow drama here. Please conduct yourself respectfully and don't cause trouble between any group or individual.
We define drama as: controversial topics or behavior, or discussion, that could be based on uncertain information, or that are drastically emotional or highly emotional driven, seeking reaction from the rest.
Persons responsible for drama could face a temporary or permanent ban.
No Flaming
Flaming is the posting of hostile or insulting messages to an individual or group. You may not harass or demean anyone based on appearance, race, gender, age, etc.

Those who are caught starting drama on a topic concerning politics/elections will get a warning, may loose site privileges, or even be banned.

Thank you for abiding by our terms and rules and fair winds.

For those of us in America we just got the result of our election and Obama won. While I understand that there will be joy on one side unfortunately there will also be hatred and despair on the other side. Every 4 years the country divides based on political beliefs and drama breaks out.
The forums is our sanctuary from the troubles of the outside world so we are going to heavily monitor any slandering of either Obama or Romney. This year of 2012 went to Obama and the political madness is finally over. While we understand that emotions are blurting out please keep the peace here on the forums.
