In reply to the discussion: DU General Election Season Begins Soon: What You Need To Know [View all]OKNancy
(41,832 posts)Lots of good new changes. I would like to suggest that in addition to rejecting known right-wing sites, that we also reject known kooky-conspiracy sites. ... Well check that... I guess that is in the current TOS here:
Don't go overboard with the crazy talk.
Democratic Underground is not intended to be a platform for kooks and crackpots peddling paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact. To accommodate our more imaginative members we tolerate some limited discussion of so-called "conspiracy theories" under the following circumstances: First, those discussions are not permitted in our heavily-trafficked Main forums; and second, those discussions cannot stray too far into Crazyland (eg: chemtrails, black helicopters, 9/11 death rays or holograms, the "New World Order," the Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, alien abduction, Bigfoot, and the like). In addition, please be aware that many conspiracy theories have roots in racism and anti-semitism, and Democratic Underground has zero tolerance for bigoted hate speech. In short, you take your chances.
Please keep the above paragraph in the TOS.
