New Rule: No Negative Political Avatars or Signatures
Due to the problems we have had recently. We have decided to ban all negative political signatures and avatars.
You can still have a sig or avatar that supports a candidate but you cannot have one that is against a candidate.
Hopefully this will be enough to stop the arguments as we get closer to the election.
As of 6pm tomorrow(8-21-08), we will begin removing any avatars that are against the rules without notification, so please change them before then.
This isn't to punish anyone, but to make the forum a better place for people who want to discuss MMA.
Thanks
-The Forum Moderators/Administrators

I think that the new rule is a bit extreme, though I haven't felt the need to advertise my political leanings in an AV or Sig. Being that there is a specific forum for political discussions I suppose the prohibition is an acceptable means to avoiding the ridiculous conflicts that have been arising in the past few days.

Sounds Fair. Support who your going for don't trash the opponent.

props to you Clint I wouldnt mind if No political av's or sigs altogether but this should take care of most of the problems. This is a damn MMA site for fucks sake and ontop of that it has a political section so please please let the General Forum of MMAnews.com be one place I can go to get away from this never ending parade of bullshit. Thanks again.

There's so much allowance for political sigs without going negative...if all you have to say about a candidate is "Depends brand diapers supports John McCain" or "Hussein Obama: choice of the Middle East" then you don't deserve to vote or have a sig.
