@Nick - [quote]Ya know what doesn't work? That red [ Delete ] button right there next to submit.[/quote].... I've pointed it out to the Admin, at least a year ago. Funny, I thought I was given a "SUP" tag because I thought I was helping them find issues with their site. But I think, my recent post on the "posting issue", was taken as a complaint, and that tag was removed.... Oh.... "the negative comment post removal" thing..... Back at 7Torrents site, They did have it implemented, I think it was 3 negatives, and the post was gone, but I think they stopped it. I felt honored, because they gave me rights, to my just one negative would remove a post. I guess they trusted me that I would never abuse that "power" and help them clean up the spam and double posts, and this admin is probably from there as well since I never had to sign up to WSM, I was automatically transferred to this site when I clicked on 7torrents.)

I believe every public official, regardless of party, should be held accountable when they knowingly lie to the public...... In a democracy, power is given by the people — and when that power is gained or used through deception, it undermines the entire system. No administration, Republican or Democrat, should get a free pass for misleading citizens..... That’s why I think every democratic country should adopt a law making it a serious offense — equal to perjury — for any public official to knowingly lie to the public. The same should apply to media outlets that present falsehoods as facts. Opinions are fine, but deliberate lies that manipulate public opinion are dangerous..... History has shown us what happens when lies fuel division — it’s how dictatorships take root. If we truly believe in democracy, we should demand one simple standard: NO LIES.
