Politics and stuff

[Bruce Wayne]

As some of the longer term members know, we've had long-running discussions about the merits of political threads on GOT as they tend to result in disagreements and in-fighting amongst Blues.

They, and other similarly 'hot' topics, do tend to be discussed however, so we're going to trial putting them all into the upgraded member lounge, where moderation is more relaxed on account of it being primarily used by members who have shown a willingness to support the site.

Threads that will be put there include topics such as politics, religion, guns and so on. Any existing threads on these topics will be moved over to the upgraded lounge by Sunday evening.

TBH, I don't think it's a great idea. That being said, it will impact me little as my contribution to those threads is minimal. Lol at the rest of you

Can someone start an Animal Farm-esque thread please

 

[Clint Planet]

It was discussed by the mod team, yes.

I honestly think it will be disastrous.

Do think this would be a mistake. Up to the mods and admins at the end of the day, but would definitely reduce my enjoyment of the boards.

The Trump thread is one of my favourites now I've blocked @TheFinnFan lol

Defining politics has always been central to the headache we have managing.

That just shows you cant handle views that arent in line with yours. Sad and not suprising.

Juan, nobody wants to talk about effing Plato with you.

Everyone already is.....in this thread anyway.

If posters on these threads stuck to debating and stopped the petty name calling, which then get reported, the mods may have not have to check it out as often. Report racism etc by all means but defend your point of view by discussion not rhetoric and petty insults.

Why are you replying to someone who has you on ignore?
