TROLL PATROL
Seems to be a coordinated effort to load up racist and divisive junk up today... Flag 'em and get them gone. This crap does not reflect what Dr Paul's values or opinions and can only hurt.
WWDPD?

Offical Posting Guidlines
Hello Friends,
I set this board up as a place for Ron Paul supporters to communicate with each other. Anyone can read and post to the board. To post, you must first register:
http://www.dailypaul.com/......
Feel free to post your comments, links and anything else you'd like the world to know about here. I ask that you follow these loose guidelines:
1) Even though this is an unofficial site, you are still representing Dr. Paul in the eyes of the public. Please don't write anything that Dr. Paul himself wouldn't say or wouldn't approve of, or that would reflect badly on Dr. Paul or the campaign. Therefore, don't trash other candidates, don't use bad words, etc. Keep your focus on the good and the positive and on hope.
2) ALWAYS spell check and grammar check your work before posting. The new Firefox has a built in spell checker. Misspelled words get a red underline, and if you right click on them, you get some options from a built-in dictionary.
3) Please do not post the text of entire articles on other sites. Feel free to post a short intro, and then a link to the original article. Unfortunately, YouTube videos cannot be embedded in the forum, but feel free to link to them. Just copy and paste the address, and it will turn into a link automatically.
4) I can and will delete inappropriate comments and ban disruptive users. This includes blatant commercials, excessive profanity, personal attacks on other users, multiple identical postings on different threads, EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS.
Please be nice and follow Dr. Paul's living example of kindness, respect and humility. Let me know if you have any questions.
I set this up to be an open forum for the honest discussion of ideas and the search for truth. In order for this to work, everyone must play by the rules and respect the community. While I don't want to get into the habit of banning people or deleting posts and / or comments, if you don't respect the community, then you are not welcome here.
Any of the following will be sure to get you banned without warning:
Engaging in flame wars or personal attacks on other members, racist remarks, posting material completely unrelated to the campaign or the presidential race, bumping your own thread to keep it on the front page, posting the same non-related comment on multiple threads to promote your website or event, blatant advertising. If you cannot consistently spell or check your grammar, you may also be banned. Sorry. Posting here is a privilege, not a right.
In the end, anything I decide that reflects poorly on Dr. Paul and/or sullies the good and peaceful name of Ron Paul supporters is not welcome here. At the end of the day, this is my house. I set it up to honor, respect and promote Ron Paul's bid for the Presidency. Play fair and you're welcome to stay. Do not abuse what is offered.
Welcome aboard a magical journey!
Best regards,

Daily Paul Censorship Guidelines
Can you please define what your guidelines are for censorship? Or is it if anyone deems it "sensitive" to their liking that they can get rid of it with one click. If it is profane or radical in the violent sense I can understand that. This sounds like it runs contrary to the Constitutional theme of Dr. Paul. Perhaps some of the Daily Paul people need to toughen up a little. It is starting to sound like the Communist (Democratic) Party whining. I have news for the Ron Paul nation, if you can't handle most of what I have seen that has been censored, Hillary (should she get the nod) will run right over you like a steamroller on her way to the free Government handouts!!!
These forums are a kind of great experiment..
in self-governance. If we constantly need someone to step into these forums with rules and regulations to keep everyone in line, because we can't manage it ourselves, how can we do it at a national level? Are we ready for the Freedom that comes without having a great big nanny step in when we can't take care of ourselves?
M.
Unfortunatly we do not own the site
By registring and posting here on someone elses site you have agreed to the contract between the owner and you. Thus we must regulate ourselves to the standards of the propriator site.
I can see your point...
at the same time, I think my post is relevant.
Please, do me a favor and translate what this other commenter said to me? I don't understand. Is he calling me a troll? That would be a first.
What's a toad?
I am naive, I guess.
So, if I am being called a troll, does this simply mean that anyone not agreeing with me, I should label a troll?
Help me out, I'm lost.
M.
you are not a troll
Malcolm X
Thanks!!
Happy Holidays to you too...
M.
I am sitting here laughing cause I am a techy guy..
And I have no clue what they meant..lol
So it's not just me....
You've been a big help TimC. Thank you! Happy Holidays!
Long live the R3VOLUTION!
M.
"Live Free or Die" baby!!
i refute
toad or troll thats not whats going down but the sheep say nay nanny me.
I guess I'm not as hip on the computer as you...
What did you just say?
M.
Not sure whre it is but there is posting guidlines on the forums
Most of it is common sence.. No foul language, No racist speach, he also had something about postings should be something that the Ron Paul campaign would approve of.. I.e if Paul disavows something like truther claims.. dont post about it.. There are other guidlines like dont bump your own thread or repost the same thing again and again.. I thnk thats about it.. there might be more but that is what I remember.. I will try to post the guidlines up..
Thin skin vs. Tolerance...
I think that I see a fair share of mind opening going on out here.
I don't think you can open every mind to view things with Tolerance, and "live and let live" attitude, "take it or leave it" stand, but...
Maybe we're getting there.
M.
I flagged someone today for makeing threats
Some person was threating violence to Glen Beck.. Compleatly inapropriate.. People should be very careful now that we are under media scrutiny..
Ron Paul wins Mormon poll
http://www.ldsmag.com/pol...
2nd posting
Bring It Up
again. This time, we will be watching who's doing it.
Rock, I just searched the forum 3 pages back
and did not find either post. If you claim they are there pull one up with a comment.
My posts are routinely removed by someone
Like the 2 I posted today. Ron Paul wins independent poll and Ron Paul wins Mormon poll. Both with verifiable links. Both are gone,both were good news for the campaign. In someones fit of zealous righteousness they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. If censorship is what we will get with a Paul presidency I will reconsider where my vote will go. The 911 and the Wanta issue are at the core of any effort to re-establish democratic government in this nation. To shrink from stating the truth and demanding answers would be to give an easy victory to the criminal forces at work in DC. Dr. Paul knows what is expedient at this time for open discussion and his platform. Whoever is gatekeeping here be careful you dont pull out wheat with the tares.
we are a republic.... not a
we are a republic.... not a democracy!
My point exactly
The good posts are dying because the ridiculous ones push them out. It's not gatekeeping, it's allowing us to see and help with what we need to be doing to help Dr Paul elected. For example, one post on Daily Paul right now to slam an article about something they said about Dr Paul. Do you really this this close to the primaries that we need to be doing this? NO! We need to know what states need caucus goers, what states still do not have Dr Paul on the ballot. What some meetup groups are doing that works in other states that our meetup groups can do. Go to www.ronpaulforpresident20... and you can see what I am talking about. We have just 2 weeks left until the first primary and we don't need to be bickering about a newspaper article or 9/11 truthers. Do we want Dr Paul to win? YES and stupid negative posts, dividing us and arguing is not going to make it happen.
Case and point
"and stupid negative posts, dividing us and arguing is not going to make it happen." ~ NoFreedom
Regardless of what you believe to be true or not, is not closing the debate on it exactly what most of us have come to this campaign for? Truth. Truth is debating the ideas not telling us that because we don't agree with you that we are some how less than.
I'm mixed black and white, but when I hear that white supremecist (sp) are donating to the campaign I don't think to turn them away. It's because it is specifically THAT type of thinking that has me opposed to them (really the other way around).
Just a thought. Dr. Paul speaks truth to power. Not Power to truth. You should do the same.

This site is about Ron Paul
If you want to defend the racist, negative and disrespectful posts that hurt Ron Paul in this forum that allow the positive posts to die then you are preaching to the wrong person. Go preach your "Truth" and "freedom of speech" on this private site to the Ron Paul supporters and meetup groups that are freezing their butts off in the ice and snow to get the message out to Americans that Ron Paul is our only hope.
This is my point.
NoFreedom is correct.
I believe this site is about sharing ideas that elevate Dr Ron Paul. If you have something to say, you are free to say it... but it may be inappropriate here... you may need to go elsewhere.
If you are not intending to be helpful to the Campaign of Dr Ron Paul, then why are you here?
Can I ask you to reconsider?
I would hope that you wouldn't withhold your vote from Dr. Paul for the treatment that you may have received on this forum.
I would argue that one has nothing to do with the other, and that would trully by throwing out the baby with the bath water.
This forum is a conduit for the message Dr. Paul is spreading. It's not like "Dr. Paul" or even his campaign is disrespecting you. This site is not even directly associated with the campaign.
Think about it for a bit, and I hope that you would reconsider your stand. Use your freedom of choice and free market knowlege and find the product that you do like if not the Daily Paul?
M.
Uh... Not removed
Your posts have not been removed. They have simply dropped from the active forum topics. That happens to all threads. Sometimes sooner and sometimes later. Click on "Forums" and then "Daily Paul Forum" and scroll down.
I saw the Mormon poll
It was awesome. Romney losing to Ron Paul in this poll. Awesome. Not sure how the poll was done but it should carry a lot of weight since it is not an Internet poll.
its incrementalism
they monitor us we should all know this. the blast names and then trumpet lists that they approve. notice that at first it was 5 candidates. now there are 4 and next week there will be three. there are 8 nominees but they free ball the results based on who they think should drop out.
revolution or rebellion there will come change.
there are enemies amongst us. MLK-
http://www.dailypaul.com/...
to say there is no enemies in this room tonight amongst us would be foolish -Malcolm X
Just passing by and I noticed this post....
I'm not sure I'm into creating some kind of "blacklist" of un-paul-like people and then stacking their ideas into an imaginary bonfire and watching them burn as we dance around.
Doesn't smell like Freedom and Tolerance to me.
With that said, if there are people spouting off lies as though they are facts, then maybe they should just be ignored or corrected. I just don't know who is to be the Judge of what reality is out here.
I sure hope I don't get "blacklisted", I enjoy exchanging ideas out here. Even though I choose not to agree with some.

My opinion
Daily Paul is listed as a news forum. After being on here for several months, I have noticed a huge change in the postings in here. This site has gone from getting Dr Paul's message out to utter chaos and misinformation. It seems that the closer that Dr Paul gets to winning the nomination, the more the dicussion and posts turn to conspiracy theories, let's attack this media outlet, let's determine how Dr Paul feels on this issue. We have gone from posting the positive things the campaign and meetup groups are doing, the positive articles from the media etc into negative posts that are causing RP supporters to say "That's not true!", or having to defend what is correct.
After reading two articles a month or so ago from two major newspapers in the country that had DailyPaul quotes from 3 supposed Ron Paul supporters that were very negative references to what Dr Paul actual stood for, I had had enough. Don't you all realize that the media is sitting in here waiting as are other candidates staff and sometimes actual planting supposed Ron Paul supporters in here to get their big story to try to use these posters to represent all of us?? I remember the names of the posters when they put the topics on the forum and I knew as soon as they did this what would happen.
As far as I'm concerned, the so-called "freedom of speech" argument by some in here has been abused and has only hurt Dr Paul and his chances to win. If anyone wants to know his views, go to the campaign website, they are all listed and thoroughly explained. I want him to win and personally, I'm tired of flagging these negative posts because it's a waste of time. It's Mikes website and his posts and Jane's posts are what I want to see and know about. My opinion? We are getting too close to the primaries and I don't care about negative news articles, personal radical opinions about what some think Dr Paul represents.
I think the best way DailyPaul can serve Dr Paul and his supporters right now is to have people submit video's, articles, fundraising, caucus status, news etc that they feel should be posted on Daily Paul. We have discussed journalists, negative news stories, other candidates to death and NOW is the time to be told what is really happening, what does Dr Paul need for us to do and how we can get him elected. School is almost out, the time for personal opinions is over and now its time for the test and what we can do to get a A+ for Dr Paul.
When these disussions start
remain focused on getting Dr. Paul elected.
That is what we are here to do.
WE ARE UNIFIED FOR ONE PURPOSE.
We all have our own stuff, but, we are in agreement on the important thing.
If someone is trying to get you off of that...DON'T LET THEM.
We want it more than they do.
T
what are you referring to?
Dr Paul would allow the freedom of speech if it is the truth. If it truth against Israeli crimes are the ones u are talking about, unless it is fake, then it is a troll. If it is real like the way Israel attacks USS liberty, then it is no troll. Damn you people who thinks Israel is perfect. Ron Paul wants us to leave these damn nations own their own, the way we think Israel is perfect is the reason we send them billions of our taxpayers money to assist them.
If the crazy christian zionist here wants to usher in Armageddon, let them go and die there. Similarly with muslims who wants to join the crazy Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, let them go and kill each other. America has lots of problems, let us help ourselves first before we meddle in others affairs.
This revolution is worldwide. If America fails, God help us all
is this thread referring to...
...this http://uruknet.info/?p=m3... which was posted in a thread here which was then (apparently) flagged? If so, explanation please? The info *appears* legit, so I'd like to know more.
I am not a troll, I just want to discuss things openly.

Thanks
It's good to get another perspective of our campaign. It's probably true that some of Dr. Paul's support is fickle but for years Dr. Paul has yearned for some way to expose millions to the breadth and depth of his libertarian/paleoconservative philosophy so that they may grow in understanding of the greatness of the unique experiment in governance that our founders created, enshrined in the Constitution. Now the campaign is providing that exposure and unquestionably many more Americans (and even those in other countries) will embrace the concepts of liberty by the end of his campaign than at its beginning.
