sure others might post a more interesting post that doesn’t keep plowing the same ground with stupid tribal shit. It might actually become Open and interesting. Try leaving this up or are you afraid of the responses.
that I’m also a conservative I wonder why so strong a reaction from you open minded against cancel culture disagree. Care to share? I would have expected those you attack daily to respond.

What does every one think?
and as conor would say hump their own shit. Look at yer own behavior and stop blaming everyone else. If you don’t like tribalism stop practicing it yourself and then blame others. Not the spirit of this thread.

I am very much against the shut down of this board in Dec/Jan when the board was shut down, so I can understand the concern of some to make any further restricitons in the shadow of that event.
At the same time, if you can't live within 3 new threads a day, then you have a problem that you are placing onto others. I added one extra new thread from the previous;y discussed rule to be generous.
Exemptions for puns and humorous responses.
Hostility and locked threads generally occur after mean-spirited extended responses.

are readable, these are few and far between, if at all

I’ll give you an example. One poster who knows I have him on ignore continues to respond to my posts. I know this because I see
some of his posts before I log in. If he isn’t posting crap about me he’s posting lies.
If I defend myself it winds up being a locked thread. You know who the poster is because
he leads the board in locked threads.
Do whatever you want. It’s your board.
But common sense tells you which guys create most of the problems.
Peace.
In other words, it's very dumb. You've already placed an "Ignore Poster" option, here. As grown adults, I first think that we are capable of ignoring people on our own, but if some need that function, they may use that.
This is actually the most important decision you will have made, Mark.
The post above shows the obsession of this group. I’ll give him credit I rarely agree with Jimbasil but every once in a while he will mix in music, food and movies. The rest are just screaming into the wind.

After 27 years of surfing the internets, one thing about which I have become certain: the more "moderated" a forum becomes, the more the quality of posts drops, rather than rises. So, keep adding rules. Pretty soon you'll have a forum full of, "I have a large, red, protruding boil on my stomach...should I go see a doctor?" post, among many other highly engaging ones.
Do you know what the most "tribal" board is here? The Football Forum. Is that forum unreadable because it's an "us vs. them" forum?
Fortunately, we have an unmoderated forum a long, long, long ways away from here, just in case Mark is foolish enough to do this.
If there are those who can’t or don’t want respond, hit ignore, it’s that easy.
The worst offenders also have the highest and loudest yelps.
Regularly, it’s calmer now because the team isn’t a complete train wreck
that a few people kept posting, Blue Grey Sky, that always triggered half the board
