Current Forum Rules:
Welcome to Pv7.0. This is a forum for positive engagement with people possessing different views from across the political spectrum. The forum encourages and welcomes all 2+2ers from across the political spectrum to participate equally.
1. Threads will be moderated to keep them on topic and focused on the arguments/issues. Posts that focus on attacking the arguer or rehashing previous forum squabbles are not allowed.
2. The forum welcomes discussion of a wide variety of topics (current events, political issues, societal issues, philosophical issues, etc.). However, posts espousing the following viewpoints are not allowed in this forum:
- white supremacy
- homophobia
- pro-pedophilia
- misogyny
- racism
- bigotry towards minorities or religious groups
- islamophobia
- anti-semitism
- hate speech
3. Moderation will be impartial and aimed at keeping the forum welcoming and functioning for all. 2+2 regulars will not have to be overly concerned about getting temp-bans from the rest of their 2+2 activities. Serious violations of the forum rules will result in timeouts from Pv7.0. (Temp-bans from the entire site would normally only be issued for flagrant disregard of forum timeouts.) Timeouts will increase in length for repeat offenders but forum members will not be subject to any extra rules or restrictions when their timeouts end.
4. There is a moderation thread devoted to discussing Pv7.0 moderation issues. Posts related to forum moderation appearing in other threads will be deleted. Posts unrelated to forum moderation appearing in the moderation thread will be moved or deleted as appropriate. Posts in the moderation thread should be focused upon forum rules or moderation decisions.
5. Citations. If a poster makes a claim without a citation and is subsequently challenged by another poster to substantiate the claim, then the initial post will not be deleted but the claim should not be repeated or defended without a credible source being provided.
Guidelines- Tweets, videos, links, and pictures are generally welcome when relevant but should not be posted excessively or repetitively. Others should not have to follow links or watch videos to have some idea of the contents or reason for the post so please provide some argument or explanation. Posts that fall outside this guideline may be deleted without consideration of the content.
- Do not bring up another member's family as a way to insult, attack, troll or annoy them.
- Avoid anything that can seem like a threat of violence or doxxing.
- Direct links to hate sites are not allowed.
- Linked content must obey the same rules as posted content (no white supremacy, no homophobia, etc.).
- The forum should not be used as a vehicle to criticise the modding of other forums, 2+2 in general or (ex)posters with no right of reply.
- Betting. The mods of this forum will not arbitrate on bets, or enforce them, unless we've agreed to do so with all the involved parties in advance. Individuals are free to do what they like as long as any disputes are confined to threads specifically about bets.
Welcome.
