After careful deliberation, the entire webdip community has decided not to discuss.

The implications are huge for Bernie supporters. All of Hillarys delegates from Texas are now nullified. Since texas was draw size scoring Bernie gets a huge boost.

Brainbomb it's against the rules to spam the forum.

Please dont make rule violation accusations on the forum. It's against the rules.

No it is not.

My moral compass of what is and is not truth is reinforced solely by (+1's)

haven't mods considered a (-1) button?

Websites that thrive on negativity and shaming without expressing why typically also have darker vibes. Hence why theres no dislike button on facebook. Consider reddit and how unpopular posts end up at the bottom. Is that the type of community you want? If we only put posts with lots of +1s at the forefront this entire website on ratio alone would be webleonwalrus.net

Roll on the Republic of Lakotah. The UK is here to return all of your help during the First American Civil War.

And if Texas secedes can they take all of that wonderful Tex-Mex music with them please?

Can we kick Texas out of the Union before they secede?

Rule 7: Do not spam the forum or private messaging system.

Brainbomb, your new habit of posting a headline or claim, and then providing an un-related web-link, is incredibly irritating. Please stop it or I will mute you, which will mean I will not be able to play Mafia anymore, which would be a real shame.

The UK was the arsenal of the Confederacy. Enfield made the Slavocracy about 900,000 rifles.

Yes of course that is why the Confederacy had to be defeated in order for all of those lovely New England weapon makers to prosper behind a tarrif protected market. Now throw the textile people into the mix and you catch the dynamic of the Second Civil War.

If Could save the Union without freeing a single slave........i am sure you know the rest

I recommend this for anyone interested in a slightly more nuanced discussion of this particular subject.

Since I'm being pushed by Mafia people, could I ask Brainbomb to respond?

Brain: If this is not spamming, why not? If you admit it is, will you agree to stop it?

I have to date never been warned for spamming by a mod. There is a difference between a mod saying my posts are spammy, and me receiving a request from a mod to stop. You arent any type of authority on this site at all. What the fuck are you talking about?
You are a funny guy, but when you get overly pedantic and demanding it really makes you lose that whimsical edge you have. I dont even understand what you are trying to acheive with calling me out like this?
I will stop when I am told to stop by both the community and by the mods. Theres quite a few ways that would happen.
1. Someone actually complains to the mods, which there is an appropriate way to do its called emailing them.
2. a Mod actually tells me this has gone on long enough and its time to stop. via PM, publicly or otherwise. (Considering I talk to multiple mods regularly that is a pretty absurd thing to assume they care about)
3. That the community repudiates me and decides that my actions are so grossely intolerable and rude that I am worse than draugnar, maplestory, and blankflag types.

Fine. I have emailed a formal complaint to the mods.

Please explain why you think your threads add anything to the forum? Why is it helpful or funny to post a new thread with an attention-grabbing headline, and then give an unrelated link? Please tell me how clever you are.

Seriously, Brainbomb, was it genuinley tour intention to have a debate about the constitutional status of Texas?

If it was, then explain your link?

If it wasn't then your thread is either satire, or spammy shit.

If your thread is satire, please explain how.

I dont personally feel like anyone adds anything to this forum at all. I dont feel I need to explain myself to anyone especially not you. I have not felt intellectually stimulated by anything that has ever appeared on this forum, especially not by the political biases, and generally uninteresting discussions about what cronyism openings have worked best for whatever buttfuck blowhard happens to be the most manipulative. If the purpose of this site is to be master manipulators how am I doing anything counter to the intentions of the game or the site?

I have never found anything you have posted to be particularly thought provoking at all. Long before I was a regular spammer here you were posting threads about eating sandwiches and the benefits of pickles. Perhaps you could link us to your Okcupid account and we can talk about the benefits of dating in rural England.
Not sure how anything were talking about here is substantive either.

Brainbomb, let me direct you to rule 7:

7. Do not spam the forum or private messaging system
"You are welcome and indeed encouraged to join in with the community but be sensible. Try to keep replies relevant to the conversation and don't start too many threads at once. "

~ http://webdiplomacy.net/rules.php

Your posts are a clear violation of this rule. Please remember that all recently active threads are shown to all users - and although you don't feel the forum is useful, many members do.

Our rules also say "use common sense and respect other players". This is why we have rules against forum spam; so that other members can use the forum easily.

Yes, sometimes there are a lot of threads which are off topic for diplomacy (eg, when major political events happen, or when everyone gets really excited about mafia). The difference there is that those threads have a clear purpose. In the past, mafia thread creators have been asked to keep it to one thread (because that way users who are not interested can mute one thread and forget about it).

We already have several off-topic nonsense threads, there's no need to create three right next to each other.

"I have to date never been warned for spamming by a mod. "

Please consider this to be your first warning. This many threads about nothing is not acceptable.

We haven't warned you before, so we're not going to silence you. But if we have to warn you again, we probably will.

Right, Lincoln was a free soiler not an abolitionist. It was all the same for the Slavecrats, which is why they threatened to secede in 56. You can pretend they didn't explicit secede for slavery and say as mych, or that the Kansas Missouri fights never happened, or that John Brown's raid didn't galvanize the south. Whatever lies help you sleep at night for being an apologist of an avowedly white supremacist cause.

I find it very sad ATC felt he had to send that message because of like two people complaining. Like 90 percent, if not more, of these threads are generating actual discussion. I'm not sure why the mods are trying to stomp that out on a forum that's already pretty low key and dead.

John Brown may well have been the least racist man of his time, but some such modern apologists would brand his actions as among the most racist for trying to "be the hero of an entire race because he saw them as inferior." Even among abolitionists, he was one of the few white men (if there were any others) who was perfectly fine eating at the same dinner table as a black man. History books brand the man as insane. He was violent to the point of killing those who supported slavery, and he was misled about the effectiveness of the Harper's Ferry Raid, but he wasn't insane. Fighting against slavery and racism, fighting for the equality of all men despite race, was the only thing that could drive him to violence. He abandoned a life of religious pacifism to fight for that cause, and people have at every point considered him insane, before Harper's Ferry because he wasn't racist like the rest of the States, after for being a violent abolitionist, though his abolitionist contemporaries put him on a special pedestal after Harper's Ferry after they had previously ridiculed him for wanting to go beyond freeing the slaves. That man who acted as a Civil War catalyst was quite possibly a hero in the same stripe as Nelson Mandela is for South Africa.

TrPrado you're not allowed to have a discussion on this thread. It's spam.

Your face is spam.

Maybe you should tell the mods, I might get a warning for my face.

On the other hand, if this thread and others gets bb a warning for spam, maybe the mods should lock it?
