Thank goodness for this rule! Just making sure: saying something like "I am anti-democracy" or anything that is anti-a form of government would be reportable as well? Or not..?

I think it'd be a good idea to just think of saying 'anti-____' isn't allowed here. I mean, you could only say anti-negative things, but many of those things aren't supported anywhere, so there isn't really any use in saying it as it's a given. So, instead of saying anti-democracy, you could say pro-Republican, or 'I prefer Rupublican/any political class values'. c: hahah I'm garbage at politics but I think I made my point?

Just a question for the mods about this particular rule.

Tess stated that there are to be no "anti" phrases, messages, or stamps in any aspect of our profiles from this point on. Does this also mean that I cannot have a "pro" phrase, message, or stamp in any aspect of my profile? Previously here on CS I had a pro-life stamp in my sig. I'm not showing hate or being mean towards anyone by having that stamp in my sig - just so you know my motives - I'm just stating what I believe to be true, just as someone with a pro-choice stamp in their sig is stating what he/she believes to be true. I won't hate you if you disagree with me, as I understand that we all have our differences - that's what makes us each unique and special.

What I'm asking is this: I understand that "anti-abortion" phrases, messages, and stamps like it are no longer allowed; but does this also apply to phrases, messages, and stamps that have a positive spin on them? Like "pro-life," "pro-choice," "pro-gay marriage," "pro-traditional marriage," etc.?

We allowed "anti" signature messages up until this point in the interest of being "fair" to everyone's beliefs. However, the fact is these "anti" messages in signatures bring nothing but negativity to the site, and are the cause of many arguments and problems. These messages often leave certain groups of people feeling attacked, discriminated against or bullied; when CS should be a safe place for people to come and be free of judgement/discrimination. We feel that there are more positive ways for people to express their beliefs, for example using a "pro-atheism" stamp instead of an "anti-religion" stamp.

Tess already addressed this.
It is pretty much a 110% encouragement to use pro 'x' instead of anti 'x'
