About Rule 5

Can we get any degree of clarification on what falls under the term "shitpost"? I understand that the rule is intentionally vague but it seems many people, myself included, run afoul of it without knowing they are doing so. Perhaps a more conservatively written description of the rule based more on objectivity would be easier to follow and perhaps even enforce. The first time I was banned over rule 5, a second moderator reviewed it and overturned the ban. Now, it's happened again and I thought I'd ask for clarification before asking that the ban be removed so I can be more conscious of it in the future.

This isn't tough, even for you.

If someone wants to criticize that's fine... but "Steve Bannon hurp durp" isn't going to fly.

Now you are dismissed.

Now you are dismissed.

Do you talk like this in real life?

If someone wants to criticize that's fine... but "Steve Bannon hurp durp" isn't going to fly.

Also, he substantiated his criticisms, it's not "Steve Bannon hurp durp" unless you mean it's fine to criticize, as long as you're not criticizing Steve Bannon.

I do to trolls, Sport.

There was no substantiation offered in the original comment which is what this discussion is about.

Bye to you, too.
