It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Starting to see more and more name-calling of political figures. The following is our CoC rule regarding this issue:
UPDATE JANUARY 28, 2017
When referring to political figures, both past and present, legal names must be used. You may use initials, i.e. HRC, BHO, or George W/George H., and referring to Hillary Clinton as 'Hillary' and Pres. Trump as 'the Donald' (including 'the') are both permissible since these are terms of endearment endorsed by the candidates themselves. Admin reserves the right to except other terms of endearment in future.
Nicknames, even if in the public domain, will no longer be allowed, nor will physical descriptions (the orange guy in the oval office, etc.).
You may freely state your opinion of said figures provided your statements don't violate the ProBoards Terms of Service and aren't excessively vulgar, profane, or repetitive (subject to mod discretion).
Posts going against this criteria will be deleted, as will quotes of them.
(1/31/2017) Foreign honorifics such as "President <anything other than Trump>", "Sayyid Obama" prohibited for violating the spirit of the rule
Please, abide by our rules when posting.
Thank you to all, in advance.

What about aggressive posts? "Fuckin' move" or "can fuck themselves" and "fuck him too" for instance?

What about that "Gd created this virus so people wouldn't gossip" about Artemis?! On the elderly and loneliness thread.
I'm sorry she's elderly and lonely but I take great offence to that comment.
Trying to contact a mod here and not sure how to do it.
