I anticipate full adoption and understanding from the membership.

I guess I need to buy an account now, since this is the only place I've found with halfway decent news and some critical thinkers.

I like the idea of keeping it out of general discussion and requiring membership.  It will keep out some of the riff raff.

Give us an option to delete all please.


After 20 years, if it takes me paying to be a team member to have the option to "wipe all", I will pay RTF now for when I want to hit the eject button.


Because we already know being silent isnt enough for the left.   Even if we are silent/gone they wil go digging for their doxxing efforts.

For two months we endure relentless coordinated trolling by leftist agitators, and *now* action is being taken, and to prevent meaningful organization?



Two months?

At a fever pitch, yes.  Obviously longer at a lower level.

Again, LOL.  Its not about whether I like it, I honestly don't care either way.  But its not going to make a difference in the end.  Step one should be getting the fuck of off AWS...I might even pay to be a member again to support that.

How is the line drawn?

Example, is
“VCDL Page about Lobby Day has been shut down by Facebook” a “Politics and Related” post?

And with politics in its own sub-forum (which already exists and is largely ignored for good reason), how much heavier will moderation be?

No offense GB, but a bronze membership is cheap and a small price to pay have full access.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a forum for long time or vetted members to post in. Team allows access by just buying a membership.
Now how to figure out who’s legit.......that might be easier said than done.

You’d better start working on alternate DNS, hosting, etc. Probably overseas. I mean, this site is pro weapon of War. Beto will have a broad mandate to stifle terrorism.

I've got a hard time arguing this, but it's not like Arf is a secret that the lefties don't know about.
I'd go as far as making sure you don't use the same screennames on other platforms, to avoid linking and Doxxing

@goatboy

I really loathe it, but I understand.  Do what needs to be done to duck and cover while things are the hottest.  Also, PLEASE consider the wise suggestion from @flkyle repeated below.

I’ll add to consider whether to make the entire site membership only.  I’d happily pay for that- even a life membership.

Can we get an option to wipe all our posts? It's still archived if you dig but to a casual observer will be more difficult and hopefully not searchable.
