This NHB Politics forum is meant as a No Holds Barred forum for conversations relating to Politics.
NHB Rules
In addition the following Forum Rules apply:
1) We discourage discussions of the board itself or of moderator decisions. If you have feedback on either of these two topics, please direct your questions to admin@the-pork.com
2) Threads are to be in posted in their appropriate forums. Posting duplicate posts across additional forums is highly discouraged.
3) The moderators are all community volunteers. Their job is to keep the forums productive and positive. From time-to-time you will see them edit posts just to make a comment. These comments are intended to assist keeping the boards on track. Moderator comments should not be edited.
4) Do not repost threads that have been locked or deleted and do not repost content that has been edited or deleted by the moderators.
5) Spamming is not allowed on these forums. THIS INCLUDES POSTING MORE THAN THREE NEW TOPICS PER DAY IN THIS FORUM.
6) Do not defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others. You can flame but don't step over the line of something that could land you in court.
7) Do not Engage in hate speech including, but not limited to, racial, ethnic or religious slurs
8) Do not repost private emails without the participants expressed permission.
9) Do not publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or information.
10) You may not advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business purpose on these forums without permission from The Pork Community Inc.
11) You are prohibited from using the forums in connection with pyramid schemes, chain letters, junk email, spamming or any duplicative or unsolicited messages (commercial or otherwise).
12) You may not harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including e-mail addresses and IPs.
13) Please DO NOT post entire articles on these forums. You may post a paragraph or two and link back to the original but these full length articles need to stop. It's encouraged (but not required) that you should also post your opinion on the subject in addition to any quoted text.
If we see you posting topics over a period of time with no real opinion of your own then you may be banned from the forum. This is a DISCUSSION board and if you're not a moderator then you should be here to discuss topics not just start them.
These rules are intended to provide further, more practical guidance for users than provided by the Terms of Service. In any situation where the Terms of Service conflicts with these rules, the Terms of Service supersedes any of the above rules.

Updated with NHB Rules link so we only have to update the rules in one place.

A new rule is now in effect:
13) Please DO NOT post entire articles on these forums. You may post a paragraph or two and link back to the original but these full length articles need to stop. It's encouraged (but not required) that you should also post your opinion on the subject in addition to any quoted text.

A few people are posting full articles again.
If this continues you will be banned from the forum and/or the entire site. I will not allow our search engine placement to be destroyed by a few who can't follow the rules.
I'm not doing this to be an ass as I love full articles as they have more keywords but search engines are cracking down on "content mills" (basically you are ripping off content to get your site listed higher in search engines) and I don't want us to fall in that category. It would be bad for us to lose our pretty good ranking.
Spammers are visiting us regularly and we have to moderate their crap to keep your experience clean on this site. Please don't add to our work!
Thanks.
