The rule has been amended from a minimum of 3 sentences to a minimum of 2 sentences of the thread author's own thoughts/commentary on the thread topic. Hopefully this helps some of you.

All other rules remain the same.

Has that come about because Biden supporters struggle to have 3 thoughts in a full day?

Cool...

Without wanting to start another thread about A, B, or C, I'm going to ask on this existing thread...

Once upon a time, I started a thread in the CDZ about document declassification. It was locked because it was "a hot political topic".

Zone1 - Declassification List?

Because if there is no list, anyone can walk out of any government building with our State secrets and simply tell whomever investigates later..."Oh, it was declassified." If there is no list of such declassification....there wouldn't be a way to prosecute anyone who does such a thing.

It was at the time, ironically, right next on the thread list to a discussion about abortion. Currently there are topics in the CDZ about SCOTUS that was started last Tuesday. Much like my thread was started to discuss the finding of declassified documents at Mara-Largo which has since resulted in President Trump's indictment.

So can we get some clarification on what makes a topic "too hot" for the CDZ?

I don't know why FCT locked it for that reason. That's something you'd have to PM him about. If it were me, I would have left it open as long as people were discussing the topic.

Just FYI, though, there is a gov't site you can use to search for declassified documents: Research Guides: Finding Government Documents: Declassified Documents.

Maybe the people that can't manage to come up with original sentences on their own shouldn't be making opening posts to begin with.

Kinda like "you gotta be this tall to ride this attraction" type thing

The crux of the entire dispute reminds me of that one time at Chotskies.

Just copying and pasting a tweet doesn't count, right?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Should we assume this rule is null and void for black posters who post endless cut and pastes?

No, that does not count. The person starting the thread must have at least 2 sentences of their own commentary about the topic.

It's for every member of this forum that starts a thread in Zones 1 and 2.

 

[Unkotare]

Maybe there should be a maximum number of copied and pasted tweets per member per thread (somewhere around zero).

Ok. But a couple of times my thread was shut down because one particular Mod deemed my additions to my starting thread as "trolling".

Reason why I avoided adding any comments to my opening thread. Just can't seem to make sense of the rules, sometimes.

Then try to be fair... you obviously can't

It sure wasn't the last time the Forum's most favored poster did it.

But you made three sentences.

 

[hjmick]

Jesus. Instead of lowering the bar it should have been raised. Five sentence paragraph minimum. Isn't it bad enough that society as a whole has been and continues to be dumbed down? Now we have it being reinforced here. May well return to the days of, "Get a load of this..."
