Welcome to the News and Politics forum

[The1calledTKE]

One simple rule no bashing each other. Bashing political figures in any party is fine but please respect each enough not to call each other names.

1. Play nice and no name calling (what I mean is don't take it personal, it's a message board darn it)
2. If something is offensive, one of us will see it and it will be dealt with. Don't PM us, we are the all knowing.
3. This is not a democracy, we determined what will be locked, deleted, etc. You don't like it, then don't post
4. We both have thick skins, so don't worry about us locking a thread just because we don't agree with it.
5. We will be a benelovent dictators, so kiss our feet.
