Hall of Shame
Here it is, the Hall of Shame. This is where you post the dumbest things that people say in the political forum. Hopefully this will deter people from posting crap on here. Cheers to izzy for the idea.
Now, the criteria for this must be clear. Someones post is not dumb if you disagree with it, but rather if it is not of value as a political statement. this includes unsubstantiated claims, deliberate lies, obvious propaganda.
It also includes horribly written posts. A spelling mistake is ok now and then, but if it's so bad you can't understand what is being said, then it qualifies. Please, try to use proper grammar as well, a missing period is one thing, but 27 line posts with no punctuation are just unreadable.
And finally, it covers personal attacks, of other members of the forum, or members of the international community. If you have a problem with someone, then say why, don't just insult them.
I think that is about it, i will add to this list of infractions if neccesary.
Perhaps after a time, we will even have a vote on the dumbest post of the month or something?
Anyway, Here are some resources to help keep your name out of this thread:

The best search engine around:
http://www.google.com
Dictionary.com for when you don't know how to spell a word, or don't know what it means:
http://dictionary.reference.com/
it would also be ideal if you could provide a link to thread, so that the context of the remark can be seen.
