> [@Kira\_Direll](#): > > Whoops, since when? I left the game for a long time, but I do not remember Devs or GMs being this petty/political? It’s definitely noticeable recently that CCP may in theory ban all political discussion but their enforcement is heavily skewed towards certain topics and is obviously driven by more than just a desire to have a politics-free place to chat. ---

Always carry a travel fit with you in low-sec. And when you warp to out-gates in systems that are camped, do it from a different angle to avoid smartbombers. ---

We don’t usually allow politic talk to 2 reasons. First, it’s because this is a spaceship game, and we like to keep it that way. The second is that most any time a political thread has been open for more than 5 posts, they start getting disruptive and break rules. This is why we don’t do politics. ---

> [@ISD\_Dorrim\_Barstorlode](#): > > We don’t usually allow politic talk to 2 reasons. Well, two openly admitted reasons and a third open secret: that certain subjects are not permitted to be discussed because they might risk certain business relationships. > First, it’s because this is a spaceship game, and we like to keep it that way. Unfortunately this is a position most commonly held by privileged people who benefit from the status quo and want to keep it that way even at a cost to others. Politics _always_ comes up, and “we don’t talk about politics” is itself a political position. The only question is whether dissenting voices are permitted, or if the people who agree with you are the only ones permitted to speak. ---

> [@Merin\_Ryskin](#): > > Politics _always_ comes up, and “we don’t talk about politics” is itself a political position. The only question is whether dissenting voices are permitted, or if the people who agree with you are the only ones permitted to speak. This is pretty much a 100% spot-on observation. I’ve seen threads in which Orange Man got mocked and nothing happened, and I’ve seen threads in which Honey Munchkin was mocked that were locked 3 minutes later with warnings issued. I _truly_ wouldn’t mind the “no politics” rule if it was objectively enforced, but the reality is that it only applies to one specific government. And it’s like that _everywhere_, actually. CCP, Steam, Epic, Blizzard, are all equally guilty of selling out their home countries’ democratic ideals for a few extra bucks in their stock values. Well, that’s all I’m going to say on this, for now. I don’t want to be noticed and given a perma-ban for “disrupting the harmony” or whatever. ---

Once everyone has the proper approved opinions on any given issue, it’s no longer politics, it’s just light hearted banter. Any dissent and you simply shut all further conversation down with “Found the …” followed by further steps if necessary.
