Now I may be wrong about this, but I don't think I am.

At the top of the Amun-Re games waiting to start is game #13866 Titled:
"A FOR ALL USA" with the description being "--- PLEASE VOTE FOR PEACE NOT WAR!!---

Now if that isn't a political spam message I don't know what is.

Obviously the title starts with 'A' so it's at or near the top and the description has nothing to do with Amun-Re, or gaming, or humor, etc. The game's been sitting there for a while with only StanislavTikal the creator signed up as it's a passworded game (whoda thunk). I don't think he's a spammer by nature as he plays Tikal here, but obviously he has some issues with US foreign policy he'd like to share.

I don't want to start a flame-war on US foreign policy or anything, heck I agree with the sentiment behind it, but I still think it's political spam that doesn't belong on SBW.

(There was another recent post that brought this to our attention)

Ryan and I have been discussing some sort of general policy to cover things like this without singling out anyone or any particular viewpoint; hopefully milksheikh will be around to provide some guidance as well.

Obviously the "Games Waiting to Start" page is not intended to be a soapbox nor a space for advertising...

So does that mean you'll be removing the game or leaving it open for?

I've sent a message to the game creator asking that players be invited to join and that the game be started.

This might solve most of the problems if password games were 'hidden per se'.

I'm a moderator over on doom9 and here's one forum rule we have. We would give him a strike right away. 3 strikes and he's banned. This rule started over when a war started and it got into a heated debate.
