Hello all,
The following is an updated and summarized guideline of Huskerboard’s policy surrounding politically-themed content, specifically in areas outside of the P&R forum, though not exclusively. If you have questions or concerns, please comment below or send a private message to a board moderator or admin.
No politically-themed content in status updates
Please do not share news or commentary related to politics, policies, elected officials, the president, or topics that would fall under the political umbrella. The P&R forum is the only place to share these opinions and discuss a candidate, elected official, or policy.
No politically-themed content in Huskerboard user profiles
This limitation extends to profile avatars, user names, signatures, and other forward-facing aspects of user profiles including those featured in posts and updates. Moderator/admin discretion will determine what is acceptable and what isn't.
Deference will not be given to ambiguity
If a mod or admin believes some element of a user profile violates any of the above, that user will be required to remove the violation. Refusal to do so in a timely fashion may result in the account being moderated and/or suspended until the violation is corrected. The account may also face a ban if the violation is deemed intentional, the user has a history of abusing this policy, or at moderator/admin discretion.
Members must request access to the forum from BigRedMax
The limit is in place to prevent abuse of the P&R sub-forum, however, Board Guidelines will still be enforced to the fullest extent once a member is granted access. If a moderator/admin believes a member is abusing the privilege of having access to this forum, their access will be removed.
Why such a hardline stance against politics?
Most users come here to discuss Husker sports. The board has experienced situations in the past where political debates made their way into other forums outside of P&R. These debates often featured personal attacks or other board violations. Some members have also complained the political spillover into other parts of the board is a turn off. Keeping political discussions inside the P&R forum gives users a specific place they can go to discuss these topics.
As always, any political comments made in the P&R section must adhere to our Board Rules.
Thank you,
Huskerboard's Leadership Team
