Hello Admin .
Ive recently received a pm from csl that I believe relates to myself being permanently banned from off topic which tbh is fine .Your site your rules .What I find strange is that you allow others to use the off topic for political statements that even I find ott ,yet these statements carry on and are fuelled by even more extreme views .Are we seeing a smidgen of double standards or am I just bitter I’ve been banned .Please clarify .
Yours in anticipation Utng.

a) stating political viewpoints in 'Off Topic' is not banned if you can keep it civil and not 'belittling, insulting or rude', if you post it in 'Off Topic' and if you aren't already banned from 'Off Topic' for the former.
b) posting extremism (hate, politics etc.) is, in many instances, illegal and therefore it is banned on here.
c) it's down to the three owners to decide when enough is enough and not you.
d) you are always free to log out and walk away.
