+atari2600land Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm guessing Al got angry at the people talking about political stuff on the status updates so he took them down, but I mean, it's an election, a national event. People are bound to say something about it. Will they be back up after a few days or are they gone forever? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I doubt he would remove them permanently over an election. He is likely waiting for it all to cool down so that they don't have to be moderated 24/7. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 They're probably just gone until people calm down. I don't come here to read peoples' political views. I can get that everywhere else on the internet. I come here to escape all of that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The less I know about people's political views, the better. Correct. The internet is already chock-full of politics if you want to talk about the election. I can fully appreciate that people want to vent or celebrate, but this is not the place to do it. I've learned that I don't really want to know everyone's political leanings here. I've seen too many political (and religious) discussions go off the rails where people get heated and start attacking one another. Just don't need that here, so there's been a blanket ban on discussion of politics and religion for years. This includes using status updates, your avatar, and your signature to espouse your political/religious views. I've toyed with the idea of giving people access to a "Politics & Religion" forum that would not normally be visible, but it would require too much moderation and I don't have the time or the will for that right now. The satus updates box on the front page of the forum will come back. ..Al 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I get sucked in because somebody pisses me off - this doesn't stem from differing views, but from belittling of mine or others'.

Jess Ragan Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Wise choice. I don't care for the political views of a lot of AA members and I sure don't need the bickering after this awful election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 He is delaying the release of the status updates to make them even better. Now that he owns the Jag molds that is his divine right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Manhattan Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I just want to say something. I don't care who you voted for, I'm cool with you either way. We all have one great thing in common, we all love Atari. In a time when people are so bitterly divided it's great that we all have something that brings us all together. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GameGirl420 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Kinda like the mellower vibe without them tbh,but wouldn't mind them back either! I've had people troll my statuses alot lately too. I post about my podcast show like others do and that's about it,but funny how trolls react sometimes like they don't have anything else better to do. They're pathetic.One time someone got mad at me for posting about my radio interview with porn actor Ron Jeremy saying it was "against God". Uh hello? No religious talk please! Oh and don't get me started when some troll got mad when I said I interviewed Nolan Bushnell LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
