    Default A need for clarification to the Org's rules

    It has recently come to my attention that warning points may be issued, up to two in fact, for issuing opinions which take issue with positions agreed to by the generally left-leaning moderators of the Backroom. While sometimes this is faulted as inappropriate language, in reality, it must be the ideological slant of these terms which is being punished as insulting statements towards Christians, Americans and "the Right" have been forwarded to the moderators and no warning points were issued in these cases.

    I think you should explicitly highlight this bias in the Org rules, that statements made from a 'right of center' viewpoint will have an extra onus upon them of being in the least threatening manner. I for one did not know that I could be warned for taking issue with the views of another member. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to be made aware of this policy.

    Hello Don Corleone,

    I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost, I'ld probably be that anyway, but I think it would help if you made it more explicit what's said where and when. Do you have links and please explain a bit more?

    I believe the moderator who issued the warning point and the one who issued the appeal have issued their final verdicts. Would it be acceptable to discuss this case publicly now, as it no longer is ongoing?

    I'm interested in an answer to this question as well.

    I do not know of any of it being true, but further explanation and proof would be satisfactory.

    I'm discussing the matter with the moderator(s) involved. I apologize, I was premature in starting a thread here. If after I've exhausted the PM discussion outlet no satisfactory resolution to my original post has been made, I will resume the discussion in this thread. I don't think it fair to the moderators to engage them in a PM discussion and a Watchtower discussion thread.

    Abandon all hope.
