This forum is intended for good-faith discourse about politics and current events.
Trolling and shitposting aren’t allowed in this forum. Name calling will not be tolerated; please refrain from personal attacks, even if you think someone is an idiot. Make the case for your ideas and if the discussion is going in circles, please have the grace to move on.
If you are creating a new topic, please provide your thoughts on the topic vs something like “What does everyone think about x?” Same with posting a video.
Stay on topic and avoid whataboutisms.
Racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic comments are all things that could get you banned. Topics around these things will crop up so tread carefully, be civil and respectful. Please also be careful about obsessing over conspiracy theories.
If you get banned, accept the ban and don’t hold a grudge. Also don’t bother the NG staff about your ban here, consider this forum its own island apart from NG. The mods are volunteers and they are trying to keep this place reasonable.
