You just dislike discipline being applied to you, Bobby. You dislike rules applied to you. Witness your foolish performance in the Defence Forum. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

AUKUS nuclear submarine deal triggers accusations over cost and construction Roll Eyes

We can't afford those subs.
The whole idea is ridiculous.

Don't you have a conspiracy you can peddle somewhere else, Bobby? Australia can collectively afford these boats. It has been explained to you many times. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

What do you all think of this?

Possible the largest forum in Australia called Whirlpool is heavily moderated.

Example:

https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wp_rules#wp_pointlessposting

"Religious" debates

Note: this section DOES NOT exclusively refer to debates about religion.

"Religious" debates are so called because they have a lot in common with (but are not necessarily) discussions of religion and politics. These consist largely of people expressing strongly held personal beliefs about things that can't be proven — supposedly in the interest of agreeing on the best way to do something important, whether it's attaining eternal peace, governing effectively, imposing morality upon others, or determining which gaming console is superior.

And, like most such debates, they rarely result in anyone involved changing their point of view. Aside from being unproductive and ultimately pointless, these arguments consume inordinate amounts of moderator's efforts and erode the value of this open discussion environment.

Examples of "Religious" topics include:

Mac vs PC (vs Linux, etc)
XBox vs PlayStation (vs Wii, etc)
Android vs iOS (vs Windows Phone 7, etc)
Holden vs Ford (vs Toyota, etc)
Auto vs Manual transmissions
Atheism vs Agnosticism vs Religion
Evolution denialism
Climate change denialism
Automotive – ICE vs EV

Threads which seek to unproductively perpetuate any of these debates will be closed or removed.

Before you complain about a thread being closed or deleted due to a 'Religious Debate' ruling, its probably worth your time reading and understanding this excellent article from youarenotsosmart on how marketing companies manipulate us.

That article is here:

Hmm.

If OzPolitic had the same rules as Whirlpool and they were enforced there would probably be no more than about half a dozen posters left unbanned here.

Very true - Whirlpool is ridiculous.

Well, that wasn't actually the point I was trying to make but nevermind...

It reminds me a bit of why I created a separate board for federal politics. Otherwise the whole forum would be taken over by cheerleaders for the major parties shouting slogans at each other.

Many of the rules sound like you could have written them -
it's even in your style of writing.

freediver could not write even one sentence of that.

I never knew the place existed. So....I'll go register.

Apparently all of the 'exciting' topics are in the In The News section.

But it's 'hidden' unless you have become a Forum Regular.

Quote:

Forum Regular — 400 posts and 6 months membership or 200 posts and 1 year membership.

I've been a member there for 6 years and I have 198 posts... I only need another 2 to gain access but I'm not in any hurry, I've only made one or two posts there in the last 12 months.

FMD.....why would I bother being involved in what is offered to newbies to get to something worth talking about.

Nah. It can do without me.

How come you never got anyone from there to enlist at the sewerage cemetery?
