We understand that the IOC's decision banning Russia from participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics has direct implications on figure skating and Russian skaters and we want Golden Skate posters to have an opportunity to discuss it.
However, Golden Skate's policy regarding talking politics is still in effect. Please keep discussion on the decision and the IOC's actions. Please do not resort to bringing in outside geopolitical issues or attacking other posters and skaters based on their ethnicity or nationally. That includes but not limited to: Accusations of propaganda, policy agendas from presidents and other leaders, references to past bans, taking pot shots at other countries, conspiracy theories, re-hashing what was "right or wrong," snarky posts, etc.
In other words, keep it limited to the IOC decision and how it will affect figure skaters and figure skating competitions at the Olympics.
In addition, please do not bicker with each other, call each other names or get into heated arguments and drag down the thread. In the end, we're all figure skating fans regardless of where we're from. Please keep that in mind as you post.
GS Forum staff will moderate accordingly and will give infractions to those who violate these guidelines. Please help us by reporting posts that break guidelines and are not in the spirit of productive discussion.
