Folks, Avoid thread drift.

Any recommendations for other forums?

Members under temporary suspension are free to put a notice in their profiles "I am not ignoring you. I away on vacation / in the hospital until ......." or words to that effect on their Profile page. There is no need to impose public disclosure of anything. If a member is penalized with a temporary suspension, we want that member to return to the forum. The member is left with the liberty of keeping the reason for the absence a secret. The suspended member controls the public disclosure. I would not know. I do not read any other Canadian online discussions. Any recommendations?

This thread is locked because it is a feeble attempt to start a discussion. Try again with more substance to the Opening Post. HINT: Your Opening Post is incomplete if your reader must watch and or hear a video to understand what you think on this topic. The topic of discussion must be clear.

Folks, This thread is temporarily locked because it has devolved into off-topic trolling. Anybody who wants to continue discussing the topic is welcome to start a Cabinet shuffle today. Part2 thread in the mean time which will be merged into this thread in the future.

Folks, Avoid thread drift.

Folks, Avoid thread drift. SUGGESTION: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums/topic/25592-canadians-fear-trumpbig-time/

Folks, Avoid excessive quoting. HINT: If your commentary contains fewer characters than contained within the post that you are repeating-quoting within your post, then you are quoting excessively.

Folks, Stop the thread drift.

Folks, Please avoid thread drift. HINT: Reading something that happened "This week...." is not the same as reading something written hundreds of years ago.

There will be no public list of bans nor of suspensions. Mike made this clear several times in previous threads. That is enough. Some folks may be humiliated. You are not tentitle to be privy of other member penalties.

Folks, This thread is locked due to interminable thread drift. Anybody interested in continuing the discussion laid out in the Opening Post is welcome to start a follow-up thread, call it Predict how Canada will look like in 4 years For Real, This Time! if you want. If the 2nd thread stays on topic, it will be merged with this original thread. Anybody interested in discussing other things is welcome to start a new thread.

Folks, Avoid thread drift.

Folks, Please avoid thread drift.

Folks, Please avoid thread drift.

Folks, Avoid thread drift and avoid personal banter. HINT: None of you are the topic of this thread.

Folks, Please avoid thread drift.

It derails and gets tiresome and boring. Say it once perhaps and move on. Repeating is a derail.

The point being that if you derail a discussion with a personal attack upon an argument, then you should expect moderator intervention to stop it. It can be deduced from the other rules. SHORT VERSION: Nobody cares about eyeBallToBetsy bickering.

Yes if it derails the discussion.

Folks, Please avoid personal attacks.

Folks, Avoid thread drift.

No.

Simple: Somebody who refuses to provide a source should expect to be ignored by the rest of the members as the discussion progresses.

Likewise, you are welcome.
