The Obama Thread - Page 2

Task Force · 09-23-10, 04:53 PM

I still say a political forum would do best. so all this stupid stuff goes there.

I myself think that GT should not be a political place, It is annoying to have to go digging for threads in all the bull, I joined subsim to have fun posting random bull with the people here, who on the most part are great people, not read "Obama (insert random thing here)"

I've asked this 2-3 times in the past, but for some reason (that I don't recall) it's not a feasable option.

Aaah I mistakenly started the other thread.....

So is that his half brother? He needs a dentist FAST and some plastic surgery for his lips. The horn is fine it can stay. Americans would love it.

And oh no more smoking marijuana for that guy if he ever wanted to get into politics. His eyes betrayed him.

So I implore everyone to ignore the ridiculous request to only post in the Obama thread if its a different subject such as healthcare etc that may end up with Obama mentioned.This is just certain people making an effort to slow down the debate.

I agree, if it's just about Obama, post here but if its a different subject that may involve him a some point, create a new thread.

Example1:I am sick of Obama, he is scum etc etc....post here

Example2:The Healthcare bill is already harming America.I can't believe Barry O signed it.The taxes and so on.Post in a new thread.

You just advocated an outright an outright breech of the rules. I would report you but the mods are here anyway. Stop making trouble and just comply.

This is NOT YOUR FORUM nor is it mine It is Neals and whoever he has chosen to co admin it.

Yesterday, for example, there were three threads made about the president in less than a 12-hour period and all by the same poster. That is textbook topic spamming.

Fine if discussions evolve. Fine if you want to add to the existing threads. Fine if you post a new topic every once in awhile. Topic spamming, however, is annoying and clutters the forums. It is for that reason that the rule exists.

Not saying that you were making that point, razark. I just used the opportunity to clarify my view of the matter.

EDIT: And it is not about Obama. The same stance was taken on Bush, Iraq, DRM, Islam, Starforce, et al.

Starforce is fine.. Steam is better! Thank geez we dont have the old starfroce anymore tho.

Glad the mods are getting things cleaned up.

The mods could always just merger all the Obama threads into one if it bothers everyone so much.
