New DIS Board policy in effect

[DisneyKevin]

While I realize this has very little impact on the particular forum, we have been asked to post something letting everyone know that there is a new policy in effect for every area of the DIS Boards.

Discussions of politics and religion are no longer allowed anywhere on the DIS.

This does not mean that you can not ask for prayers or pixie dust, It doesnt mean that you can not wish someone Merry Christmas.

It means that political and religious discussion / debates are not allowed.

If anyone is interested the new policy is located here:

As I said earlier...this has VERY little bearing on this forum, but we were asked to let everyone know.

Debates on cake versus pie versus brownies are fine BTW.

Good Policy!

 

[dizneedoll]

That's good. Those pol 'bates on the community board were brutal! Not as brutal as pie vs. cake though. Brownies kick pies butt everytime but cake trumps brownies. Everybody knows that.

 

[M&M's]

This rule should be followed in ALL social forums for the most part. It's been proven time and time again that while a lot of people can maintain civility in such discussions, there are always a chosen few that cannot behave appropriately.

Although I mostly lurk, on this particular section of the boards, I am proud to see that the inhabitants are very civil in all discussions, and people can get there food preferences across with little chance of a rebellious uprising.

However, I must say that brownies trump all! You don't need a utensil to eat it, so it wins! If any of you disagree with this rock solid assessment, you just don't know what you are talking about.

I just ate a piece of cake and I did not use a utensil thus proving that one does not need utensils to eat cake either. Cake still wins. ;-)

Where is the humble "Cookie" in this argument?

 

[SamSam]

Pie rules!

Only if said cookie is chocolate chip without nuts

 

[WaltD4Me]

That's too bad. I very rarely participated, but sometimes those threads could really be pretty interesting....in a good way, not when they broke out into wars. It's a shame people can't debate civilly.

That aside...... Go PIE!!!!!!!!

 

[Joseph Carter]

Of course. Im allergic to nuts anyway. White chocolate chip or Milk chocolate?

How off topic can I get?

 

[Iggipolka]

How about cobblers? I could go for a nice warm cherry cobbler topped with ice cream.

Oh..and I'm happy about the new policy.

Now, pass the whip cream!

 

[ScubaD]

I know I should be conservative on the size of my pie, so why am I so liberal when I cut a slice. Pumpkin pie with whipped cream is always in season.

By the way, this is a good policy.

I vote for pie.....it's like a religious experience for me.

<oh shoot - I just broke both new rules>

For the most part I have always tried to avoid controversy on these boards. Esp. on those two topics as there is no right or wrong answer. Everyone has an opinion as is there right (although at times I like a lot of others have felt the need to speak up). However I do not agree with this policy. It is censorship any way you cut it.(And I have heard many times people defending this by saying it is a private owned board and they can do what they want. This is just an excuse to avoid the issue. Also when you start asking people and companies for sponsorship you are giving up that right.) Where does it end. I understand these boards are supposed to be all about Disney so if they want to keep it about Disney why are there all those other boards that have nothing to do with Disney. If you want to avoid the majority of controversy than stick to the topic of the boards which is disney and cut out all the off topic stuff not just politics and religion. As they said there are other forums to discuss these topics. And if they are going to cut these topics out on the boards does that also apply to the podcast? And how are they going to enforce politics/religion when often times politics/religion comes in when discussing disneys business decisions?

That is more interesting for me. Anyway, thanks for the info Kevin, that's good.

Have a nice day everyone.
