Dear Members,
We're glad you found a spirit of camaraderie yesterday; the subject of ridicule became Admin rather than fights among members. Our intention is not to treat our esteemed members as children but Chinua Achebe opined
"as a man danced so the drums were beaten for him."Thank you @symbols for this contribution:

In the meantime, we have made a change to explain the last rule:
1. Every day, one thread only
Politics update for [date] will be created
2. All members will be allowed to only post links to reputable news sources with an explaining line or caption
3. Text of article should not be copied in full to the thread
4. No member may post the same link more than once
5. Post should not state
personal opinions, whether positive or negative, towards a political party, presidential candidate, or their supporters.
If the rules appear too restrictive, simply avoid Politics altogether. Should more than five members willingly violate the rules, they will have succeeded in freezing political discussions for that day.
The Wazua spiritTo educate, inform, and learn from each other irrespective of our differences.
