Dear Members,

Thanks to @muganda, @redondo, @Marty, @Robinhood and @jamplu for your contributions on the new rules of engagement.

We encourage everyone in the community to bring forward their view by actually posting a rule that they wish the community members to adhere to. We will collate all the rules and publish the new code of conduct.

The Politics forum and all political discussions will remain suspended until this exercise is concluded.








The Wazua spirit

Dear @newfarer @quicksand,

Make no mistake, your sentiments are welcome and concern noted. The suspension of the Politics section was not a casual move. It happened after we were long castigated for our inaction and the damage the Section was doing to our sense of community.

We realised that where thought leaders hurl profanity and insults at each other, simple-minded folk bear arms and torch property. Similarly where intellectuals engage in white-collar crimes or pornography, at another level some resort to robbery with violence or rape. - pardon the strong language - Do we readily own the unintended consequences of our actions?

Together, we'd first like to outline new rules of engagement for the Politics section that we can collectively own and enforce. For example:

Rule 01. NOT SAYING what one thinks is the truth, before considering your neighbour with strong opposing views.

The Wazua spirit

all this because of one man
