Rules in Conversations instead of Threads

[DiabolicGod]

If I want to discuss current day politics for example but not get a warning for it, is it possible to just leave a post in a thread inviting people to a group conversation (ie they message or reply and get invited)?

Now I get that some rules such as illegal content applies to conversations as well, but do the rest of the rules?
Only other one I could see making sense is not harshly insulting others...

There have been a bunch of cases of people taking politics discussion to PMs, with varying levels of openness, and TTBOMK nobody's gotten in trouble over it (I recall a mod at some point saying rule 8 applied, but I've seen other mods tell people to take political discussion to PMs, and obviously there's the issue that mods can't actually view PMs unless invited).

QQ staff generally treat insults in PMs more harshly than they do when it's in public, as it's considered to be harassment.

Obviously, nobody cares about private ERP, though I suspect that PMing people shock-site material out of the blue would not end well.

Thank you. I was about to add to the question to clarify:

The main reason for the question was the case where someone with strong views and/or a fragile ego reports messages in such an open (private) group conversation.

While I would generally say that any platform moderating private messaging without strong and reasonable suspicion of illegal activity is not worth using, the premise here would not be as private, with anyone who wants joining in.
Would just putting a disclaimer in the invite be enough, or would mods just shut it down because reports are extra work and they don't want anyone using loopholes?

Also, what is ERP? Only found Enterprise Ressource Planning in Google...
As an aside, how many warning points until temp ban? Does the ban then expire as soon as the first warning point leadint to it does?

ERP -> erotic role play

Urban Dictionary is a useful site

@Enso is correct regarding ERP.

QQ doesn't use a points system; mods decide what punishment (if any) to give in a more ad hoc fashion. Usual escalation on QQ is warnings -> threadbans -> mutes (like a tempban but you can still read the site) -> perma, although there are a few things that get instant permanent or temporary bans (minors get tempbanned until they stop being minors; doxxing usually results in an instant permaban; posting real-life child porn invariably results in a permaban; there's this one case where my best guess is that a guy got permabanned for encouraging other members to literally murder people IRL, and he got exactly one warning - accompanied by a mute - before the hammer dropped).

We do not care much what happen in PMs, generally. That being said, we WILL be likely to react if we get a report on harrassment in PMs and it is proven true.
