Wait, so all of that had the sole outcome of kicking a hornets nest? If you're going to change the site rules on a daily basis you need to actually communicate it. All you've managed here is mass confusion and frustration, and you've eroded my trust, and I'm sure others, in your ability to run this place. I feel like I've been trolled. Also, not hijacking, responding to a political comment when I thought we'd banned political discussion. Calling out users for shit you can plainly see they've done at your bidding: not cool. Having to edit this as I can't write another reply, cheers for the throttle for disagreeing. Yes, I posted it three times in three political threads because dang asked that we flag/call out political discussion in a major front page thread, and you then asked that we don't in a random comment buried in a political article. Can you honestly not see how this might not be fantastically clear communication, and how while this is as plain as day to you it's utterly opaque to Joe user?
