Anarchy Gossip has a list of restricted words, meaning that if you use one of them in your comment, your comment will automatically go into moderation to prevent it from posting to the site. However, the restricted words list has made it next to impossible to have a real discussion in Politically Incorrect.
In light of recent events, some words are coming off the "restricted words" list. Please visit Politically Incorrect for a list of those words. I know that those words can give readers a visceral reaction; if you do not want to see them in print, I would advise staying away from Politically Incorrect for a bit.
This is being done with the intention that these words be used in Politically Incorrect ONLY. Unfortunately the moderation tools are not sophisticated enough to allow those words only in that one post, so if they go up in a comment anywhere else on this site, the comment will be removed or edited around the restricted word, in line with the commenting guidelines for the site. If you see a comment that contains one of those words, outside of Politically Incorrect, feel free to flag it for moderation.
Many of you visit Anarchy in Mobile View. The commenting guidelines for the site appear at the bottom of the page in Desktop view, but not in Mobile. Here they are as a reminder:
"There are a few things that are not allowed on Anarchy - Don't tell anyone to die or to kill themselves (or any variation thereof), don't use buzzwords that would feel right at home on an alt-right website, don't dox anyone, and don’t make a comment that is overly offensive/inflammatory in a way not already outlined above. Fundraising and asking people for money is strictly forbidden.
If you accidentally post something that is in violation of those rules, the comment will be deleted - no harm, no foul, no repercussions. Swear words, naked pictures, and links are always allowed (although, to reiterate, if your link is in violation of one of the rules stated above, it will be deleted). If you ever see a post on the site that is in violation of those rules, please flag it for moderation. Occasionally, Disqus will "eat" a comment, which is as frustrating for me as it is for you.
If you intentionally post something that is in violation of those rules and/or you have a breakdown in the comments and start attacking other commenters, your comments will be deleted and you will be banned. If you have been banned and return to the site with a different Disqus account, that one will be automatically banned as well.
Comment sections automatically close six days after a post goes up to prevent spam.
If you have a question that you want a response to, including questions about why your post that violated the commenting rules was deleted, don't post it in the comments; that will not garner a response. E-mail AnarchyGossip@gmail.com. Every reader email gets a response."
XOXO,
Outtie
