sorry to jack this thread, was just reading the side rules,.. and wtf is a dogwhistle? Like I'm not saying something, but you think that what I'm saying implies something else so I could be breaking rule one?

A rule like that could totally be twisted to remove anyone that you disagree with their sentiment, and twist their sentiment to mean anything you want. Seems like a bad rule that could easily be abused.

That isnt what a dogwhistle is.

Dog Whistle:a subtly aimed message which is intended for, and can only be understood by, a particular group.

I.E. Racists using coded words to spread hate and signal said hate amongst themselves.

Or one political faction using terms they they created in their nomenclature to make fun of or spread hate about another group or person I.E. "Lets go brandon"
