Election Aftermath Reminder

Postby Reploid Productions » Thu Nov 17, 2016 7:23 pm

Usually after a US Presidential election is over, the spike in bad behavior subsides back to normal levels, we all get our jimmies unrustled and go back to arguing like normal. This season seems to have presented an inversion of the usual trends, with NSG being surprisingly well-mannered during a very contentious election and then collectively flipping out after Trump's victory. There has been a marked increase in bad behavior, both from Trump supporters and from Trump detractors.

Yes, tensions are high. People are either really happy or really upset. However, that does not magically give people free reign to lash out at their fellow posters. We've been seeing plenty of "fuck you"s and similar being hurled between supporters and detractors. *** This is not acceptable behavior, no matter who you supported in the election. ***

If you are only here to gloat about how them ebil Moslems r gonna get rekt, this is not the place.

If you are only here to piss and moan about how Muricans r racist omg anybody who supported him/voted third party r teh ebilest, this is not the place.

We expect and demand that our users treat their opponents with a modicum of respect, no matter how ill-informed you may feel that they may be. Attack the argument, not the person making the argument. Moderation will continue to land harshly on those who get out of hand, as NSG appears to still be in some need for a forced course correction.

Don't post when upset, don't post when angry. Think before you hit that Submit button. Remember the site rules. Avoid the political nicknames, they are not clever, they are not funny, and this is not /pol/ or Reddit or 4chan, do not post as though it was.
