I see. Well purely for clarification of the above rule, I wish to most respectfully ask who decides just exactly what constitutes "misinformation" and how is this done? What are the defining criteria applied?

As the current and only active admin of the site I'm the one who enforces the rules. I shouldn't even have to make the call on what's 'misinformation' because there's a no politics rule.

There can be many varied and conflicting opinions and views on every subject, even in Tiki. Some we may personally agree with, others not at all. But they are all opinions, and thus entitled to be held.

If there's a discussion about tiki with different views that's fine as long as the discussion is respectful. Your posts that have been hidden have nothing to do with Tiki and add no value to the forum.

Could somebody please tell me is there a "right" ...or an "officially approved" PC one to hold and conform to here on TC? Any others straying from that are then labelled "misinformation" and "hidden"? (Or being a "dick"?) Is that how it works?

Just don't post about politics, or politically charged subjects.

Knowing the parameters and just how they are determined would be of great assistance in avoiding causing inadvertent offence when making any posts to Bilge.

Here's a guide. If it's not tiki related don't post it. If it's a controversial tiki opinion (eg cultural appropriation), word it respectfully and invite feedback. I'm ok with these types of discussions if they remain civil.

In Blige post about lawn care, home renos, the latest sportsball match, non tiki art, the latest episode of "The Last of Us", who was a better batman actor, anything that doesn't break the rules.
