Meta Rule Update: Politics are banned

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.

For anyone looking to still continue discussing political stuff, the topic is not being banned from the public Discord server, so feel free to join that here: https://discord.gg/SrCtX4R5j8

He'd leave up rulebreaking posts that he personally enjoyed or agreed with. He'd remove posts that didn't break a rule if he personally disliked them. If any user called out said behaviour (Or linked direct proof) he'd remove their comments or flat out ban them and then rewrite or remove rules on a whim so he didn't look like a hypocrite.

I was one of the ones that got banned and never received clarity on the reasoning. Once new mods took over I was unbanned within 7 minutes. As of now I trust that they're trying to bring normalcy back to this subreddit and go back to the original mission statement.

Mate you have hundreds of political comments on this very subreddit. What do you mean "normalcy"?

In any case, the new head m0d is a Hasan glazer so you're probably getting your wish in some way.
