You should consider bringing in new mods who care or close it down.

The politics regs have lately been appearing in other forums to scream RACIST and in the effort to disrupt the posters in which they don't agree with politcally.

This is just another example.

It's a big lie to own the PR narrative and set up big numbers and a bright future in the brains of morons and the FOMO addicts. Musk is basically nerd Trump.

The future PR plays off this are also great. For example, the day after making the announcement, he got to say this in an interview and have it widely reported because it went with the unusual pay deal: “I actually see the potential for Tesla to become a trillion-dollar company within a 10-year period”. Interviewers will ask, for weeks, why he did this, allowing him to set the narrative and headlines. Analysts will ask him about it during the next conference call after whatever disaster M3 numbers they reveal.

Whether you're a bull or not, it puts the idea in your head. It's classic PR. It's the same thing Trump does when he trolls the media to get them to talk about a topic. Tell a big lie that people can easily grasp and that sticks in their head and associate with your company and that you will get endlessly deferentially asked about so you can set the narrative.

Poster ignores troll and answers the question

Troll keeps trying

Outsiders of Politcs is thinking this.

You're allowing posters to take a Letsgambool approach and feel they can just discredit people as they sit fit with full immunity.

This issue came up quite recently in a parallel ATF thread. I trust Bobo Fett will not mind me quoting something of his from that thread:

Personally I am a mod in NVG. NVG mods have decided that NVG will be a politics-free zone. Posts or threads dealing with politics are quickly removed and infractions are often doled out as a result.

I imagine that every forum has had to make a judgment as to where they draw the line regarding political posts and threads.

It's not good for business when the first reply is on target.

Of course, you can't really speak for me. Even if I agree with you completely.

I have a different answer for the op , however. For everyone: (worth reading the lyrics somewhwere)

LFS implied that it was.

The idea that a 1 post forum member could get somebody to shut down a forum is absurd. It being a sockpuppet for BS makes it even more pathetic.
