Is the same standard for appropriate posts being observed [View all]

Just saw a humorous albeit political post locked in the lounge
Then I saw a post about teens killing 6 people. Is that appropriate for the lounge?

I'm sorry to complain, but aren't there other forums more suitable for harsh reality?

I know what you're referring to. That Lounge post content was clearly a joke, parody, like The Onion. CaptainTruth Dec 2023 #9
