Gone?

I am sure the moderators would not do something permanent without some sort of notice being given.

I thought it should have it's own thread so some can have some fun with it's absence.

I expect we SHOULD hear something soon.....right?

BTK, I found the post from the Admin, today around 12am. No more political forum. Done, fini, closed... no further comments. Guess it got too hot in there.?????

Talk about censorship! My dad told me never to talk about religion or politics so it doesn't matter to me but I'm sure it does o some. I started to comment on the admin last night but I was afraid I'd get thrown out of TOTV!

I saw the post from the Admin regarding the closing of political and the warning of what would happen if you talk about politics on this forum.

Wow. I must have missed something. I haven't seen anything that I believe would lead to that happening. I was going to ask a question regarding the Admin post, but the Admin made the post and closed his remarks to any comments. Again. Wow.

i thought the admin indicated that the forum was "suspended" and not "done, fini, closed..." isn't a suspension a temporary status? al least it was when i went to school! some kids got dismissed - but most of us were made to return! i hope it is a temporary situation!

I can't find it, either. Not in the list of forums. What's up? I've posted to it, recently.

Well, if the Political Forum is closed, I suppose the political posts will go to the "General Discussion"?

See JanMCN's post - the link to the moderator's announcement is in there. No political posts in TOTV. (until further notice)

Based on this post by the Admin, I'd say its closed, finished, done.... NO political posts will be allowed in any of the forums..... here's his/hers direct quote.:

"Effective immediately and until further notice the political forums will be suspended.

NO political posts are allowed in any of the forums. First offense an account infraction and warning. Second offense account will be banned."

I, personally, will not fight it... dem's da rules....

Thank you for the link to the announcing post.

All I can say now that I have read it for myself and not knowing the facts that led to the "suspension".....is to quote Spock from Startrek:

"the needs of the many far outweigh the few or the one"

I choose to be positive in the words "suspension" and "until further notice" that this is temporary. Hence I look forward to the return of the political forum as what ever the issues may be or have been, they most certainly do not apply to the many and hopefully the administrators will consider it that way.
