>>I notice members are extending their personal signature with some political video links. I dont think we should do that, there are enough webforums where you can make others aware of your policital favours and I dont think that this forum is an ideal place to do that. I even believe the forum mediator should van this kind of actions.

>What we have presently in the Terms & Conditions is the non acceptance of a Political Attack. Expressing a political view in a message or in a signature cannot be acknolwedged as a political attack. At first, their was a request to add a Politic category in the Chatter forum. Despite the fact that I always focused on offering a technical support site engine, many wanted to have a Chatter forum where they can post non related technical threads, which seems to be more popular on Friday, and later on, the request came to add a category in it for Politic.

Hi,
noticed yor reply and although we differ in opion I respect your point of view.
Last thing, for me, this has nothing to do with free speach, which I encourage. It is more a remark that on a technical forum like Universal Thread, which I visit to read technical advise on technical matter I am uncomfortable to read unwanted political statements to which I donot only disagree but also feel loathed. Would you mind if I put a hyperlink in my signature to advocate promote sexual freedom? Dont think so. Why is it than that I should tolerate a hyperlink to a site which is condemming the jews? Nazi time is over.
Koen
