Bobby's election platform....in full.

I may add to this during this week and I would also be open to any questions.

I feel that we need more discussion topics.
I would probably copy some of the titles from Ozpolitic
such as Islam and Extremism exposed.

What is said in words can be retracted in words.
I am of the opinion that people who say terrible
things - including falsehoods and made up nonsense
on forums should not always be banned immediately without stating why but given a chance to redeem themselves first by
making a sincere apology. It's about: public, sincere, serious apologies - not a quick sorry and then back to the old behaviour.

Anyone will be allowed to join up to PA but new members will be on a good behaviour bond for the first 3 months. After that time most new members will be allowed access to Sparta. Many people post personal details about themselves in Sparta -
things that they would not normally reveal in a public forum.
Remember that what you learn in Sparta stays in Sparta.
Revealing private info from Sparta would result in a forum wide ban especially if such information is used to doxx anyone.

Attempts would be made to get some of the old members back
who for whatever reason are no longer posting. I would send emails to the addresses of whatever email they used to sign up to try and contact them - assuming that is possible.

We already have an OzPol, Bobby. You do not need to duplicate what is already available to the people who might use that place.

Yes, I can imagine how glibly and readily someone like NOIQ will get around that, but more importantly:

You are far too trigger happy on demands for apologies and more often than not, an apology is not due or required.

Of course anyone can join. That is the case now. Even Monk can join if he used a different name and a VPN. Fair enough on your probation period, but what do you mean when you say 'most new members will be allowed access to Sparta.' Why not all?

Who will you consider to be a 'new Member?' NOIQ is not new, neither am I nor Monk nor Mr Smith.

Aussie,
Stop being disingenuous -
you know very well that some members have
a history of doxxing -
how could they be allowed into Sparta
unless I was certain they had reformed?

I will duplicate what works -
not only from Ozpolitic but from any other forum site.

IQSRLOW is NOT banned. You and Mong are!

Currently new members don't get access to Sparta. Haven't you already found that out when you have created the various socks?

IF I was running and won, I would delete Sparta and also delete your account!

The only reason you want to be allowed back is to trawl through Sparta to collect "evidence" .... there is absolutely NOTHING there. Get a smacking life!

IQ should return to PA and tell the remaining female members they should be raped with barbed wire and broken bottles and you can all fight and gaggle on in ecstasy.

there's nothing new in that . IQ has been a dichead who spoke like that for YEARS. And some idiot in their infinite lack of wisdom decided that he would make a great mod.

You're a joke!

Actually .. the joke is YOU. You took what was a reasonably active forum and completely stuffed it so that now it's most likely impossible to save. Now you want to pretend it's everyone else's fault? Grin
