> But there now are new rules in regards to a URL
I think there was a "ruling" rather than a new rule. A judgment was made that can be appealed. A new regulation was not implemented.
> that I posted that showed how historical propaganda tactics were used as being state-sponsored to arrouse antisemitic feelings throughout an entire country. I had posted the same in the past and there was no mention by the administration as to the URL having uncivil content.
I am not sure whether or not the poster wishes to repost the exact same URL that had remained unsanctioned in a previous post.
> So is there not a change in the administration concerning the posting of a URL to historical events?
My GUESS is that there exists no such rule or regulation. However, I believe that the judging of the content of the webpages posted as URL links remains a component of the enforcement of civility on Psycho-Babble. This judging is to some extent a subjective interpretation of the content being judged and the guidelines being used to make the judgments. Just as the decisions rendered in the US court system, these judgments remain in constant flux and can vary over time as thoughts and feelings are variable. Of course, any judgment rendered must still fall within the framework of the existing regulations. When the existing regulations are no longer judged to reflect the needs of the exigent, they are then changed as allowed. In other words, I would GUESS that something that was judged to be civil in the past might not be judged to be civil in the present. In addition, one must take into consideration the instances for which a post has not been reviewed by administrators. That a post remains unsanctioned does not de facto indicate that it is civil.
Let me repeat that last sentence:
THAT A POST REMAINS UNSANCTIONED DOES NOT DE FACTO INDICATE THAT IT IS CIVIL.
