Message from the mods regarding the current hot button topics, please read.

Hi folks, a couple of points:

1. We are going to be heading to the polls federally soon so, as was the case prior to the US federal election and the recent provincial election, we will give some leeway to the rule regarding 'Kelowna specific' to allow our community members to have discussions here about their views. Keep it civil please. Also please be reasonable, don't crosspost/spam every partisan submission you see elsewhere. If it gets to be too much we will start pruning it back.

2. The Tesla / Musk posts or comments that are suggesting vandalism of vehicles or dealerships will be removed. This is a no brainer, we have never allowed this kind of stuff regardless of subject. You can still voice your displeasure about Musk or Tesla but unless it is specific to a Kelowna context it is off topic and will be removed.

3. We will also not allow the vilification of Tesla owners. They are not guilty by association because they bought a vehicle. BTW, I do not own one or want one and am very unsupportive of Musk in his recent efforts. On that note, we have been tolerant of submissions of 'pictures of a Tesla in Kelowna' (or Vernon or Penticton) that blur license plates, thus following our rules about personal details, but won't permit it going forward. They exist solely to shame and bully current owners and that's never allowed.

Thanks.
