*sigh*  Really?  Whatever  But if that triggers moderation
status, there are a lot of others that should be too.  Just sayin'.

Inflammatory content like W123s with stacks through the hood?

Or mini-splits with refrigerant that could be contributing to
global warming?

Or green is a good color for a car?

Or islands closing borders?

Or C41 is easier than E6 processing?

Or blaming drug use for nutty for sale postings?

Or any Facebook link?

If you have a standard - hold to it for everyone.  Probably just
make all posts moderated...

Maybe there can be a banned gun list? A lot of people like guns, but I fail
to see how they relate to diesel mercedes. Trying to be helpful.

[MBZ] LIST MOM was OT: other effects of wuhan CV

2020-03-21 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
While the subject matter of this post was not political in it’s nature, the 
vehicle in which it was delivered clearly was. As a result the list member who 
posted it has been placed on moderation.

This is a reminder to all that while topical posts are welcome, the vehicle in 
which they are delivered is unwelcome if it is political or inflammatory in 
nature. There have been numerous complaints from list members regarding the 
politicizing of subject matter in recent days, and as a result the List Mom 
will take a very strong position against such posts and the members who post 
them.

Let’s stick to Mercedes subject matter whenever possible. If you’re going to 
post something topical, be sure to read it first and remove any political or 
inflammatory content. There will be no exceptions.

Thank you,

List Mom
