"Clean start" rule

[TemplarKormac]

If, to your knowledge, they have never done it before, and have yet to read the rules?

Edit the title.

If they have been active on this forum for over a year now and either haven't bothered to read the rules, or just don't care? Lock the thread.

IMO, consequences change behavior more than hand holding.

This is the only way to go if you don't like to work more than you have to.

Fair point.

This rule is excessive and a large percentage of threads violate the "clean start" rule. This rule is obviously not uniformly enforced. Why not just get rid of it? It doesn't advance discussion.

Clean start rule is very easy. The thread title matches the title in the link, part of the link the poster feels relevant copied and posted, and then they give their opinion/conclusion.

Their opinion/conclusion is structured maturely, without flame bait speak, and relevant to the link. Then post it.

Then their Derangement Syndrome can kick in and do the usual crap from post #2 onwards.

What always gets me is when there is a clear clean start violation...someone uses a derogatory name for a political figure in the original post. Classic violation 101. Then like 8 posts into the thread, a moderator comments on it without closing the thread or issuing a warning.

RFK Jr. directs FDA to study the safety of abortion pills - LifeSite

The abortion pill has a high rate of serious adverse events for the women who take it, aside from killing pre-born children.

This article informs us that certain requirements for using the abortion pill have been removed by... OMG

You'll never believe WHO!

Former "President" Obummer changed things so that - except for maternal deaths - all abortion complications are no longer required to be reported!

Not to be out-done, "president" Bribem axed the requirement that the pill be dispensed in person, and also allowed it to be shipped by mail. Wow.. don't children...

IIRC, mods aren't omnipresent 24/7 examining all posts with a magnifying glass.

Is why there's a report function.

[Zebra]

People who have been trained by their masters to call other posters maggots and Nazis always complain about the clean start rule.

People who post about actual issues do not.

nazi is used way too often
