[META] WPT Poll: Add Temp Rule: No Political Posts? (self.whitepeopletwitter)

Atleast until after election time IMO.

As is pointed out on every @return2ozma post, there's other subs for that if you want to talk politics. Its clear the community is not enjoying the posts, they are heavily downvoted and spawn angry discourse every single time. Downvoting alone doesn't effectively filter the posts because of the small amount of content overall. Even heavily controversial posts are on the front page for weeks.

This is supposed to be a place to look at funny tweets not get infuriated at the US political system every time I open my feed.

Since there's no poll system implemented as far as I can tell...

1 Upvote = 1 vote to add rule against political posts

1 Downvote = 1 vote to keep the rules as they are

Sorry man, the downvotes are speaking for themselves (edit: the downvotes of political posts overall) and as you said, most political posts get downvoted. Just ignore them if you can. Poltical is hard to judge. The ones you're speaking about are obviously political, but there are many grey lines. I'm just trying to keep this community going and don't have the bandwidth or time to fight about what's political or not. I think you're handling it well, keep telling the people not to do it and downvote them. I understand why you're pissed, it's annoying, but I don't think this is the answer.

Edit 2: I'm working with return2ozma, hopefully they will comply and keep the posts to one a day.

Please everyone though, even if he only posts once a day, you can always ban just them. It's a no brainer and you have control of what you see. Any more posts that have voting without me agreeing will be removed.

Lol I'd maybe give it more than 30 minutes and 10 votes before you call it, but absolutely lets see where it sits after a decent portion of the sub has had a chance to see the post

I'm not waiting for votes, I've called it. I meant that the downvotes were speaking for themselves on the posts that were political. Sorry I wasn't being clear.
