roadrunner Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 There was a status update today about Youtube removing channels and discussion about Internet censorship. I don't see it no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 It was removed because it's politically-motivated. YouTube removed QAnon-related channels/videos and other conspiracy garbage spreading misinformation. Good on them. ..Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I don't care if someone states that they voted, but if you want to espouse your personal political beliefs (such as which candidate you are voting for), that goes over the line. If that bothers you that much, well, I'm sorry. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 This is what the Forum Guidelines have to say about status updates, Also, do not use Status updates to espouse your political and/or religious views.

I can appreciate that, but unfortunately when the forum was fairly young, discussions on politics and religion (mostly politics) would almost always become heated and people would get angry with one another. It was bad enough that at one point I walled off the "Politics & Religion" forum and far fewer people had access to it at that point. It's mostly been dead, and with the current political climate, I decided to close it off completely. AtariAge is primarily focused around discussions of video games, which should be a subject everyone can talk about with a jovial tone, at least most of the time. Also, I (and I'm sure most others) really don't want to know the political and religious leanings of individual members. Again, if someone says they voted, fine, and that is right on the line. Beyond that, I don't really want to see it here. Same goes for religious posts, but those are much less often an issue, thankfully. ..Al 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
