I wonder where/how you draw the line?
If there's a 'new' news story, dated this morning, about one of the candidates, does it go in LBN or GD-P?

And if it is initially posted in LBN, and the mods judge it to be GD-P material, should it just be moved there, or locked?

And I'm not even sure if this should be posted here, or in GD.
Or not at all?
These are confusing times.
:shrug:

1. Me too
I'll bet the admins don't know, either. Sometimes the rules are like a genetic algorithm, they burp up novel twists when applied. Just post and chase it where it goes.

I like watching post ping-pong, though. Someone posts in LBN, moderator says this ain't news, and drops it into GD. GD moderator says, hey, this mentions Gaza, and off it goes to I/P. I/P moderator says, this is over 3 weeks old, and locks it. Meanwhile, posts bloom in GD and the Lounge squalling about censorship, and where's the *&#$% Complaint Forum? It's like a clusterbomb going off.

BTW, what's your guess where this'll land when they zing it out of GD-P? :D

2. I'm starting not to care.
I didn't know that threads were locked for being posted in the 'wrong' forum. But I'm learning.
After 4 years here, I'm still learning.
:-(
