    Yes, though it's possible some people may have opened those types of threads with honest intentions. Just clarifying that we can't tell what people's intentions are so these kinds of threads are not allowed.

    • Speed Qualifiers: We ask you to meet some pretty low minimums to qualify for the Provider tag (5 posts, 14 days). When you spam five quick "+1 good idea" replies to get to the limit, it disappoints us.

    Just for some clarification, it's actually 15 posts correct?

    In the OP of THIS current thread (community rules) it's listed as 5 posts, at least at the time of him posting that comment.

    So his question is very legitimate and the text in the OP of this thread should be updated.

    I didn't neglect to read the selling rules nor am I trying to drum up a post count. Just seeking clarification. This thread and the other were conflicting. With this stating it was updating in November 2019.

    Thanks. The way I see it is I'd get the proper information and allow the mods to update the relevant posts.

    No problem and completely understand. I've seen a quite a few people spamming random comments or necroing dead threads. Typically named ABCXYZHost variant trying to hit that post count.

    is there any shortest version of this rules?

    LEMPer is yet another LEMP stack installer (plus cli-based LEMP stack management tool).
    Start your LEMP stack on the reliable cloud VPS instance starting only from around $5/mo.

    Yes. Break one and getting banned is the shortest version.

    Okay, i've been a member here for 9 years. I just now got a "medium warning" from @raindog308 for my thread about the election debates. Medium Warning says "No politics outside Cest Pit". Like where the heck is this rule? I didnt find it and still cant find it. I'm kinda pissed by that because there is absolutely NO rule listed which says "dont create political threads".

    "Posting about things other than low end virtual machines/technology in places other than Offtopic. The category is there for a reason." I did post in fact in Offtopic. And there is no rule that says no political stuff here.

    What has LET become during the last 2 years [...].

    @fLoo

    Tired Threads
    These threads are either played out (nothing new to say) or tend to generate more heat than light. Think carefully before wading into them.

    The ethics of copyright in the digital age, the ethics of torrenting, BLAH BLAH freaking BLAH MAKE IT STOP.
    Gun control.
    Political debates, this candidate or party vs. that, etc. We're in different countries, for pity's sake.

    It still does not say that i'm not allowed to post these threads. Either make a rule for that or let it be. There isnt even one single mention of "Cest Pit", also no rule to not create such topics.

    The warning clearly says that im not allowed to post such things while i clearly am according to the rules. Its about the fact that this rule has been made up no more no less. I dont care about the warning but i do care about rules made up on the fly just because someone felt like it.

    Fair enough - it's long been a community norm but I'll put it in the rules.

    No, it's long been our custom not to allow political threads with the exception that anything goes in the Pit.

    Now it's an official rule. Probably good timing given the looming US election.

    Does a "Medium Warning" mean anything? Do other users see that someone has been warned? Can I get a warning so I can rant and bitch about the oppressive, draconian power trippers that run this joint? Would a well placed "You're literally HITLER!!!" towards raindog get me some cool warning swag for my account? I'd like flair if possible.

    Edit: Oh, and please don't put this in a more appropriate private message, I'd like this to be in public so I can shame everyone involved that I feel has wronged me.

    It’s the default level of warning IIRC.

    For stupid stuff like... people with signatures over the 2 line limit (by a bit), I used to just send a DM unless they refused to change it or kept changing it back. If they were blatant and had something like four lines, then I’d leave a small warning (usually low). (the three levels: low, medium, severe)

    Nope, only mods and that user. All a warning does is put a little "warning" sticker next to the user's name with a note...that's all.
