Rule about “pedophile”?

[Lisa558]

I seem to recall there’s some prohibition with the word “pedophile.” Could someone clarify what it is? I ask because I’ve seen a number of leftists calling Trump one. Thanks.

I think it only applies to members here, as you can't call one a pedo or accuse them or you get banned. Doesn't apply to anyone outside this board.

You can call Trump a pedophile.
You just can’t accuse another USMB poster

Maybe if Trump starts posting on USMB he will be protected

Well, there is a new poster and he goes by peter brain. Could be?

Yes . Correct spelling is
Paedophile .

However , that is a remembering step that is "too far" for common people .

The pedophile rule is here so any given poster can support, promote and defend pedophilia but any poster who then says they have just done so will be punished.

The rule is, you have to spell it in English - Paedophile

You can't call another member of this board a pedo.
You could call Biden one if you wanted, but not our members.

I got it now. Thx.

BTW, Biden was and is a pedophile.

People are apparently accusing each other of pedophilia for purely political reasons.

You can't call another member of this board a pedo.

To further clarify, you mean not call any INDIVIDUAL member here a Pedo by NAME.

If someone merely refers to all republicans or conservatives as pedos (which is about 60-75% of the general membership here), then it is OK.

I was accused of being a pedophile right after I admitted that I was molested as a child.

So I guess it is a good thing to not to allow this BS to go on. Last I checked the rule did not only ban the accusation but asks to call the cops instead, btw.

When I was called a pedophile, it was allowed.

Do you mean that the rule did not yet exist or that it has not been enforced.

But just imagine what an impact such an accusation can have. That is beyond funny insults.

It was not enforced.

that happened to me as well.

mine either.

I was called a pedo, as well. At least too times. I did not report, though. I just told Litwin that this is neither friendly nor allowed in here.
