  1. So is it a new goal to remove all possibly contentious discussion from status updates?

      It was pretty obviously a political post. Why would you even post that America was triggered if it wasn't? You could post a million other catch phrases and not have had an issue.

      @ZRod Like I said, maybe it's just me and maybe I'm wrong or in the minority. I guess stating that America is triggered doesn't throw it into some untouchable realm or necessarily make it political in nature by my standards.

      @Comfortably Numb I didn't see the status update in question but I know the photo you're referencing. I would say, on balance, sharing that topic in the status updates (given the context/intent of that photo and the general contentious nature of guns in America) is a bad idea. Adding a personal comment about people being 'triggered' is an additional bad idea because of that term's popularity and negative connotation recently.

       

      Ultimately, and as you mentioned, it's not really about squelching political speech or freedom of expression. It's more about a) what our members tell us they want b) what's best for the board. Although P&R is a popular forum here, I will always fall back on this being a Huskerboard and we need to usually make that the priority consideration. When political status updates were really at a head last year, we lost some members and had people tell us they didn't want to join our board because of the overwhelming political tones. I think ultimately trimming down this talk in the status updates, while keeping P&R open, is a healthy and amicable balance for everyone involved.

       

      I do appreciate your understanding, though. Sorry if I came off as a bit of a jerk above. The moderation aspect has helped us quite a bit but it wasn't a driving factor.
