define bait and we'll talk

As far as I understand, a bait thread is a thread which the poster posts with no interest in anyone's responses, only interest in making them respond. In order to have an actual anti-bait rule, you would have to have moderators enforcing against people intention. Anti-bait rules are invoked in order to stop people from responding to things which they wish to respond to. It's nothing but "I know better than you" and "stop liking what I don't like." The rule is only ever executed as a witch-hunt.

define bait

There's specific umber of rules dealt with combatting bait. If your bait thread doesn't violate them, then yes.

there was that one thread about communism recently and it was fine, as long as you're not too obnoxious and the thread is good quality I think it should be fine. As a counter example we've had trouble with glimmernigger vs. counter glimmernigger spam recently and it was funny at first but it quickly got obnoxious and never generated any real worthwhile discussion
