Can we get a new rule on this forum?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the DU Community Help forum).

One that pertains to leaving a politician's minor children alone. There's a post on GD with a conspiracy theory about Barron Trump and IMO it is very tasteless. The kid is 12. He did not sign up for this.

If we want the right to leave the Obama girls alone, we should extend the same courtesy.

(Obviously this does not apply to adult children who choose to insert themselves into the spotlight like the 3 oldest Trump kids).

We really don't need to be the flip side of the conservative coin.

I alerted on it, and I'm sure others did as well, but apparently a jury thought it was OK (WTF?). The existing standards should have been enough to get it hidden.

Codifying it wouldn't be a bad idea, however.
