The "General Discussion Politics Forum" is now Bleeding on to General Discussion Forum...

[KoKo]

and it's not good. I understand that Admins might think it's a good thing to do a "slow bleed" rather than cut off blood supply next Wednesday at "High Noon" for what's gone on in that other Forum. But for folks who like to post "other informative articles" in "GD FORUM" it's kind of looking like...AN INVASION!

Can someone do something about this? Or, are we here on "GD Forum" just going to have to suffer until Wednesday when the "long knives" come out and start to whack off the most offensive ones?

Do we have to deal with this here...this "spillover?" After everything else we've been through?

A plea for understanding from Mods and Admins.... It was TOO SOON to allow the BLEED OVER! "THEY" are TAKING OVER ANOTHER FORUM! :shrug: (btw...I'm trying to do this with some "humor.") But, my sense of humor, I realize might not be yours....but it's really hard to deal with this crap, hyperventilating bleeding over into the only "General Discussion Forum" still left on DU that tries to reach all audiences, here.

Just been clarifying this with the mods.

Sorry if enforcement has been a bit fuzzy, we didn't give the mods clear enough instructions on how to handle this situation.

Here's what they've been told now: we would like to keep threads that are specifically about the primaries in GD-Primaries, while allowing threads that are about other things related to Obama and Clinton - for example, Obama's general election campaign, or the VP selection process - to be posted in GD.

Please note that these are just guidelines for the mods to work with, and it may not always be clear to them what should be done with a particular thread, so I apologize in advance if there is any uneven enforcement. These are temporary measures as we transition from the primaries to the general election.
