OK, subtle has not gotten the message across, so let's
try something different.
What part of NO Politics and NO Religious discussions
is not clear in the forum rules? If you have not read
them, they are posted on the front page.
We built this forum to be a resource for
everyone that owns (or wants to own) a Wanderlodge.
We have a few simple quidelines that we request users
to follow. If they can not follow them, then they
have no right to disrupt the majority of members that
choose to follow them. Membership in a private
organization is a privilege, not a right, for those
that choose to follow the rules of the organization.
We have had some very good comments on Wanderlodges in
the past postings, but political and religious
comments are not going to be allowed on this forum.
We do not preview all messages before they are posted.
We rely on members to obey the basic rules. We do
allow a little bit of off-topic like the fuel
discussion (as long as it is not political) because it
does hit us in the pockets when we fill our
Wanderlodges. The tire changing stories are another
example, however we wonder about some of the methods!
However, since most members read the forum posts
online, rather than by email, if you go to the forum
archive postings, you will see that every post that
had any political or religious comment in it has been
removed. We might have missed one somewhere, but in
general they are all gone. Some members have been
moderated because of it and all of their posts must
now be pre-approved before going to the forum.
Bottom line(s): We don't give a hoot what anyone's
personal politics, religion or other beliefs are.
And, you have no idea whether we personally agree or
disagree with some of your personal political
comments. This is a forum on Wanderlodges and the
content needs to be about Wanderlodges. There are
some rules that were established and if a person can
not follow them, then they need to join another forum
that encourages off-topic discussions on politics,
religion, world affairs or other things that won't be
solved in an online forum.
No responses are required to this message, just
adherence. Thank you.
