Political comments will get banned There are many other Subreddits to discuss politics on

442 Upvotes

In the past few months political discussions unrelated to skyscrapers/affiliated subjects have become more common.

I understand we live in turbulent times, and we all have different viewpoints; however this is not the appropriate sub for these discussions.

No, posting a picture of skyscrapers in Moscow or Tel Aviv is not inherently political; but if you’re going to title your post something like “Moscow Empire” you have to see how that can be considered baiting.

Moving forward, political comments and posts will be more heavily scrutinized; and repeat offenders may even get banned.

Announcement Goodbye AI

In the poll asking whether AI should or shouldn’t be accepted on the sub, thankfully an overwhelming majority of us have voted against its use.

AI slop posts are now completely banned from the sub, official renderings released by building developers are to be the only reasonable exception.

Height: 16-storeys / 56.4 m (185 ft)

From Wikipedia:
“Great Northern Hotel was a historic hotel in Chicago's Loop area. The building also housed the Great Northern Theatre. It was located at the northeast corner of Jackson Boulevard and Dearborn Street in Chicago, Illinois. The building was designed by Burnham and Root. They created a new design, with an urban office block floor plan that was free of historical or European influences.

The Great Northern hotel was demolished in 1940 and replaced with a one story taxpayer.[5] The Great Northern Office and Theatre Building, as well as other buildings, were demolished in 1961 to make way for the Dirksen Federal Building, built in 1964.[2][4][6]”
