[Suggestion] Loosen Political Rules During Some Election Cycles

Honestly I'd love to talk about politics on ECC, but...
-1 for the following reasons:

- People may become frustrated if their countries election isn't deemed to have global significance
- We have a lot of kids in this server, most of them would struggle to participate in political discussions
- Realistically we can't expect people to not get heated over these things, it's the internet after all.​

 

ECC is a minecraft server. Politics should not be allowed in global channels or the forum (unless in private). It doesn't belong there.

 

If it gets out of hand it shouldn't be allowed anymore, but a respectful, friendly, interesting discussion should be fine.

 

All allowing discussions about politics in global channels does is increase the toxicity/trolling in chat. I'd rather not.

 

I don't support adding specific clauses to the rules regarding minor things and I don't support discussing politics in global.

 

No. For all the reasons stated above, plus the fact, like kuke said, it's a minecraft server. If anything, discuss minecraft or your day or something like that, there's completely no reason to discuss politics at all, it just creates arguments.

 

People get offended by everything under the sun anyway +1

 

By this logic nothing non ECC related should be allowed in chat.

 

- Make it no matter what country
- Why not allow things to some just because others can't participate? Young kids also can't stay up late to participate in contests ect.
- People get heated by everything. Literally everything. I could throw a stick in the air and someone would get offended. People talk about politics anyway mods just try and stop it and it pops back up 5 mins later in chat. You may as well just allow it.

 

Lol I never see you online at 1-2am so this doesn't include you.

 

EDIT

 

Political discussion gets more easily heated than most discussions in global. Yes, you're correct, almost anything can become a flame war, but political discussion is GUARANTEED to start a flame war. Besides, political discussions are much more productive in party chat, where you can hold an actual debate without people just spamming their own thing, like what would happen in global.

Global chat channels are simply just not fit for political discussion. All this will do is just exacerbate the current problem with trolling and toxicity in chat.

 

I honestly don't care whether people want to discuss politics or not. But the rules in place already state no politics. It causes unnecessary drama, flaming, and insulting. Besides, this is MINECRAFT. It's a kids game. Politics literally have no reason to be here. You want to discuss politics? It's called PARTY. CHAT.

People just want to argue. Why don't they just talk about politics in a teamspeak channel. Why does it have to be in global chat?
