Political Discussions
Effective immediately political discussion has been suspended. The site rules have been changed to reflect this.
LDS.Net will allow political discussion, also long as all posts remain neutral with respect to partisan politics and candidate campaigns for public office. You may not use the site to show support, endorse, oppose or sanction any candidate. In addition, all posts must be respectful and sensitive to readers of all political beliefs and backgrounds. Any post that violates any of the above conditions will be dealt with according to the consequences of breaking the rules. Effective 9-24-09 political discussion has been temporarily suspended. Any threads of this nature will be closed. While some may feel this is taking away their agency, may we remind everything that this is a privately owned site. They have a purpose and a mission. As also stated in the terms and conditions: Quote:
Illuminate the fruits of LDS Church members (Mormons) Facilitate personal expressions of faith Reach out to friends of other faiths using their vocabulary Publish and market high quality LDS content Provide a non-authoritative voice Refer interested people to the Church As Heather mentioned in another thread: Quote:
This thread will also not be used as a debate to voice opinions on the decision.

Honestly Honor nothing has really changed.

Does this mean we can't discuss current events? No. But when it becomes nothing more than a political debate, the line will be drawn.

Let me add one thing before we, as moderators, start to get bombarded with reported posts. Those threads that were already open before this decision was made will remain open. May I remind everyone again about a rule that has never changed which I quoted earlier.
