US Gen. Election Thread V: The Hunt for Red October Surprise

[Neutraligon]

It has been amazing.

Let's just say I am positively dreading modding NSG on the evening of November 8th. Trump's behavior was already DOS-worthy before his meltdown, and it has not done a damned thing to encourage his supporters to be rule-abiding in the slightest. 2004, 2008, and 2012 were bad enough, but we could see an unprecedented amount of banhammer beatings this year.

Considering how many of the mods have commented here I wonder who will be able to wield the hammer. Also...damn that will add to the mod Olympics score.

I always wondered, If Trump were on NS how long would it be before he would be a DOS?

We could always send you that Apple cider early

We have a Mod-started thread that starts, 'anyone posting here is automatically warned for ... something.'

Looking forward to it.

I could tweet to him that Nationstates is an alt-right paradise and we could find out.

Just have Violet shut the whole website down for the day, problem solved.

He would have been DOS the first month.

So umm, if Trump really did join this site would a lot of his opponents get warned for flaming? I wonder, if a politician actually did get on this site how would that work....

I'm not sure if I even want to be online when the precincts start reporting...

[Corrian]

We're all going to have heart attacks on election day.

Honestly, given the way his behavior is, I'd be astonished if he lasted a full day before we'd end up having a DOS vote. Cripes, the man would probably wind up functionally Delete-On-Sight even before we even got a chance to do a DOS discussion/vote.

And given the Reddit flood, do you really want to inflict that on all of us?

We probably wouldn't believe it was really him.

Just concentrate on that warm ad revenue feeling.

Hooray, shittier discourse than it already is.

[Thermodolia]

Watching Don Lemon and some lady said that the public will forgive Trump and that he will win if he runs a flawless campaign. I laughed so hard I started choking!!

Imagine the actual Trump with all the Trump nations on here satirizing him.

[AiliailiA]

So I caught up on all the thread, and damn, has shit been going down today.

Congrats on reading it all. I've done that too, and it takes a while.
My middle finger got sore from scrolling the mouse, so I've gone old-school. Page Down button!

48 pages in 26 hours ... wow. At that rate, this thread will be done by the 23rd October.

It is an interesting question. We could ask Arch and Sedge and CG to volunteer but they'd have to stay up all night. We could invite retired Mods to come back, I suppose.

Hmm, so you're saying you want a challenge ? Ok lets promote NS on some of the worst alt-right sites. But now, how many neo-nazis have you deleted over the years?

[Bombadil]

This election will probably be a breeze to moderate given it won't be close and there'll be just too few people with any heart left to support the D.

'04 was horrific because of the issues and the closeness, '08 I remember more Obama/Clinton friction than election day friction and I don't think I was posting much in '12.

Just concentrate on that warm ad revenue feeling.

I can see the headlines now.

"Trump attacks Australian author Max Barry over website users' criticism."
"Trump banned from little-known political simulator for racist/sexist/<$term>-ist remarks"
"Book sales spike after Trump goes on Twitter rampage against author Max Barry"
... and so on.

[AiliailiA]

Then he'd sue ... and we'd do the full Kirby Delauter on him.

Still not seeing a downside.

We need to get it on Tumblr as well
