Greetings Fellow Members,
These two subjects (Political & Religion) have been verboten here for quite some time (as outlined in the Sites Rules), and any member who has been here more than 6 months should know this. We have in the past treated these posts as “mistakes” and happily just deleted the posts without any consequences to the posting member. In the hope that with each passing day the occurrences of these subject posts would slowly cease. They have not and to some degree we have experienced a slight increase in use.
We have additionally realized that some members are introducing “Politics and Religion” into the conversation as a means of getting the entire Thread closed and shut down. In an effort to disincentivize this behavior. We have decided that a different approach is required to curb this behavior.
For any member whom has been here long enough to know better, they will no longer gets a free post deletion without any other consequences. From now on Members who post this prohibited content will be issued an official Warning and a post deletion. 2nd offense posters will be issued a second Warning and in addition to the Warning they will receive a two week Forum wide privilege suspension and a permanent ban from further posting in that particular thread (Removing them from the conversation permanently) A 3rd offense posters will be permanently banned from the site.
We tried the soft approach and the slap on the wrist obviously has become ineffective. We appreciate your support and we hope that this new/modified/clarified rule will make our response to this issue more fair and transparent.
Happy Sunday and thank you to our growing community for choosing ASR as a place to gather, teach and learn about all things Audio.
