| | Posted: | | | | Not trying to start the discussion up again... But, why can't the forum rules be updated, as mentioned before from me - not everybody read every post with clearification, how many callories is to be used? From forum rules: Discussions within product-specific forums must relate to the product. Please try to keep off-topic discussions in the appropriate forums. Religious or political discussion specifically should be kept within the general discussion areas. | | | | We are all at the same age, only at different time... |

| | Posted: | | | | We are under a Forum Moderation Trial. Once that trial is over, the rules will...or will not depending on the results of the trial...be updated. I will admit that this has been a rather long trial, but things at invelos proceed at their own pace. As to everybody not reading every post, I do understand your point...which is why some of us will point out threads that we believe fall into the temporary ban. Edit: I guess I should have clicked on your link first.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | In another forum I frequent there's a sticky thread about Political messages that explains that it's not allowed and the consequences if people disregard it. Maybe Ken needs one like that here. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | All the regulars here already know that these subjects aren't permited since march (it's not that hard to look the second announcement post in this exact sub-forum). I can understand the fact that a new member can start a political thread since it isn't wrote in the rules, but certainly not from long time members who are suppose to know better. |

The board rules specifically say political discussion is allowed, so I can see how it would confuse people. |

| | Posted: | | | | The new people sure, but all the veterans know that those subjects aren't permitted anymore. I agree that it will be better if Ken would written it in the rules. |

| | Posted: | | | | I suggest that all of us, veterans and newbies alike, review this announcement. Specifically, to this thread, and the one it comments on, I highlight: Quote:
- Political and Religious discussion is not allowed
