Can we no longer discuss the likes of the legalization of dope and the CIA ties to drug smuggling ?

This topic was always officially not allowed. Lately, we've been somewhat lax.

Can't you still say something like "The U.S. Libertarian Party advocates the legalization of drugs"?

Only if they decide it's okay to plug the Libertarian Party. I didn't know you were campaigning for them, dj. When did you switch?

Well then there certainly is a change in the T&C.
If I say "George W. Bush killed 4000 people on 9/11" that's ok, even though murder is illegal.
But, if I say "Politician X proposed a bill to decriminalize marijuana" that's not OK, even though it's a description of a completely legal activity.

I think one thing that's clear is that the Admin here has been open about why some topics are against ATS policy. They didn't say, "My way or the highway." They pointed out why they are doing this. It's more than you'ld get from most sites.

2e.) Illegal Activity: Discussion of illegal activities; specifically mind-altering drugs, computer hacking, criminal hate, sexual relations with minors, and stock scams are strictly forbidden.

Again, I'll say the discussion of changing the law through proper legal procedures isn't discussing illegal activity.
Originally posted by djohnsto77
Yes, but it was also stated that there was no change in the T&C.
*snip*
Saying that's not a change in the T&C is simply wrong.

This became a hot point in a recent thread, and continues to emerge from time to time. Lately we've been admittedly a bit lax about one particular aspect of the so-called "illegal activity" portion of our terms and conditions, and I think it's time for a clarification.
