Time to Restate Zone 1 Rules

[Natural Citizen]

Stahp. Things like this will get you absolutely nowhere.
This is ChrisL or Darth Furious trying to get the FZ shut down futile.
You're putting a big target on your chest is all you're doing with this.

I remember when the FZ was cool.

Now it's just a snooze fest.

 

[Ropey]

^As he hides from the flame zone... because he's not fast enough to think up responses and fails. . . miserably.

 

[Natural Citizen]

They've actually been letting whiny threads like this go for a little while recently before closing them or kicking them down to the hole. I applaud that.

No better way to discourage such Mickey Mousery than to let the usership deal with it, in my view.

It was all over liberal universities, and reported on the news.

And I was saying that to your response that there’s more hate against Muslims than Jews. We had NONE of that against Muslims here in America. The venom is targeted to Jews.

But since you’re a leftist, you automatically cry about how much worse it is for Muslims while downplaying the hate against Jews. It’s what you leftists do, and it’s the main reason Jews in America are experiencing such a rise in hate crimes.

You originally complained about anti-Semitism on USMB, and I think, if we're honest, we'd agree that on USMB the anti-Muslim hate is far worse than the anti-Jewish hate.

You are also wrong about anti-Muslim 'venom' in the US:

Reported US hate crimes against Muslims in 2025 and reported US hate crimes against Jews in 2025:

Based on 2025 data released by the leading advocacy organizations that track these incidents, here are the reported statistics for hate crimes and bias incidents in the United States.​

​

Please note that "hate crimes" specifically refers to criminal acts motivated by bias, while the figures below from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) encompass both criminal acts and non-criminal harassment or discrimination.​

Reported Anti-Muslim Incidents in 2025​

According to CAIR’s 2026 Civil Rights Report, titled "The Right to be Different," which documents the full calendar year of 2025:​

• Total Complaints: 8,683 nationwide. This set a new record for the highest number of complaints ever recorded by the organization in its 30-year history.
• Trend: A 0.3% increase from the previous record of 8,658 in 2024.
• Regional Surges: Several major metropolitan areas saw significant spikes, including:
  • Chicago: 877 complaints (65% increase over 2024).
  • Minnesota: 693 complaints (96% increase over 2024).
• Key Issues: The report highlighted a shift toward "institutional behavior" as a primary driver of discrimination, particularly in employment and education settings.
• School Bullying: A separate 2025 study found that 48% of Muslim students reported being bullied for their faith, with 5% experiencing direct physical violence.

Reported Antisemitic Incidents in 2025​

According to the ADL’s 2025 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents (released May 6, 2026):​

• Total Incidents: 6,274 nationwide.
• Trend: A 33% decrease from the all-time record of 9,354 in 2024, though it remains the third-highest year on record since 1979
• Breakdown of Incidents:
  • Harassment: 4,003 incidents.
  • Vandalism: 2,068 incidents.
  • Physical Assaults: 203 incidents—a record high for violence, resulting in 3 deaths.
• Campus Trends: Incidents on college campuses dropped significantly by 66% (from 1,694 in 2024 to 583 in 2025), largely attributed to stricter university policies following the protests of 2024.
• Top States: The highest concentration of incidents occurred in New York (1,160), California (817), and New Jersey (687).

It is what it is.

All good.

Trump's kicking ass worldwide, Massie's in the ditch with the snitch.

What's not to like?

And the zones are just more bs safe spaces.

I wonder if mine is still up.
It is, but it doesn't show, or I didn't see it. Hmm..

Thread 'Retarded cuss filtering'

What kind of PC garbage in 2026 is this?
It's not doing anything but limiting free expression, seriously.
It truly is silly, IMO.
Stifling free speech is anti-American!

Could we have a mod restate the Zone 1 rules? Right now, we have venomous, lying antisemites littering these threads and derailing the discussion.

My suggestion would be a warning for the first offense, a thread ban for the second, and a total ban for a third.

Mods seem to have done a good job running the racists off the site, or at least deleting their posts, and I ask that the same standard be applied to Jew-haters. A way to do this, when deciding whether to delete a post, would be to substitute the word “Jew” for “black” and ask yourself if such a post would be allowed.

Laughing emojis from the usual suspects.

As expected.

There you go again, whining about whiny threads.

Meanwhile...

You’re out filing noise complaints in the crying room.

When idiot antisemites and leftists can’t respond to points, they say “funny.”

Well, in this instance, it is funny.

Nah. I tend to just sit back and watch things work themselves out.

It always seems to end the same way...Naturally...

With you alone again.

Naturally?

 

[Natural Citizen]

Ah well. Things to do, places to be. Have a great day, all!

 

[Ropey]

Ah well

Yep.

Things to do, places to be. Have a great day, all!

And you as well. Don't trip on the step down.

 

[Ropey]

It's simple:

Remove all the zones. That alone cuts administrator moderation dramatically... and let's face it, with these moderators, the fewer rules they have to enforce, the better.

 

[Ropey]

Well, maybe one safe thread.

For duke and natty c.

Just keep reporting the posts that break the Zone 1 rules

No, no... She needs to keep making this threads. They're funny.

 

[Ropey]

I remember when the FZ was cool.

Now it's a flame zone. Not a lame zone for the unfunny. I know, you run out of there as fast as you do here... when I give you the gears, schmo.

Now it's just a snooze fest.

Oh look, Natty C took a break from peddling his premium political doublespeak to bless us with a fresh batch of unfunny musings.

Truly, the Internet: where charlatans come to LARP as thinkers.

Standard whining .
Totally on the back foot .

Never did get an answer to why so many Jews like Eichmann , Goebbels , Himmler etc took such a hard line with their own people .

Or maybe they realize, living a nice, comfortable life in America, where no one really cares what religion you belong to, what Israel is doing is kind of an embarrassment.

But the reality is, both of our parties are subservient to the Zionist Entity, and happily willing to throw young American lives into the meat grinder at Bibi's command.

Nice in the USA? Uncertain question. Christians care about what religion you find.
