There's a difference between saying "This president sucks" and "I'm going to shoot him in the fucking head" ... one is free speech the other is a fucking threat of treason... of course they're going to investigate it... it's there job to keep the president safe under all circumstances.

Exactly. It should be common sense, but whatever.

Commonsense is not so common now-a-days. And besides. We are regulating ourselves. Not the mods on this issue. There can be not specific set of rules that can warrant 'notification'. It is completely up to an individual user wether to report another user or not.
I agree *guidelines* should be talked about. But in practice there is so much sarcasm in this forum that a single post or series of posts need to be looked at deeper as a total user than on an individual basis.
So in effect - making a set of NG 'rules' for this would be ineffective.

Otherwise we will have the mods going into every thread in the political forum reading alot of (leangthy) posts wasting their time. As that would have to be their job. And some may take it upon themselves to ban someone for being "too vocal", where there should be some serious PM'ing to Admin first.
Leave the Mods out of this. It is too big for them, and not their job.

Wade has warned you guys about this before and its been a long standing policy to delete any 'threats' to the POTUS whenever we see them, ban the user and explain why.

This is yest another reminder, this time with a good example of why you shouldn't do this.

Never knew that. But obviously this one slipped though. I haven't followed this thread all the way through except Wades posts and other posts of intrest (not many).
Not disputing the current system. But isn't that just sweeping the problem under the carpet?

This is yest another reminder, this time with a good example of why you shouldn't do this.

lolz i reprtedz u!

Just you wait.. those Nazi's are comming now. ;)

well I don't have to worry about that :)

Wow the Secret Service sure is tight about death threats to the president. I know its seems like over-reaction but in their line of work nothing cant be taken seriously.

That really sucks, I hope everything got worked out =)

Bwahaha, God less America.

Yes, I did leave you the B for a reason.

Wow i didn't know they didn't take threats seriously.

Luckly I dont live in America, I can keep insulting him.

I suppose I was a little harsh. I just don't like when people disrespect the government that gives them all of their freedoms. There's something wrong with that.

yeah well the government is run by smelly old poopoo heads

Correct, you can still have him there, insulting him, but NO PHYSICAL HARM TO THE POTUS.

And I think that goes for every member on NG.

Also, what was the secret service doing on NG?

Nobody threaten the president seriously it isn't funny or cool. Plus the SS will rape you in the ass with a American flag.

Atleast we're not posting CP.
