SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Suggestion: Now that the USA Election is over....

Quote from: Serious Paul;263328I feel that's a poor idea. Keeping it separate is not a bad thing.

Agreed.

I rarely have the time to contribute much here these days, but the creation of the politics subforum was one of the better recent developments. Helps keep the partisan bickering localised.

I say leave it alone and possibly shift any religion threads there as well, since they also tend to spiral into flame fests

I don't agree - Religion should stay seperate and in regular Off-Topic.
 
Religion is best when not mixed with politics anyway.

Agreed.

Maybe rename it the Politics & Religion subforum.

Making the subforum Politics & Religion is a great idea.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Surely that should be Politics, Religion and Sex?

Close the fucking thing down or change OT to a media forum that can at least have relevance to the RPG section of the site.

Unsurprisingly, I agree.

Limiting OT to media only will get rid of Tangency bottom feeders in no time.

Which is why I suggested re-merging the politics sub-forum with regular Off-Topic in the first place. ...OR ...getting rid of it entirely.

The Election is over.

 I'm bored with the politics.

It's surprising then that you're advocating moving political discussion back into Off-Topic, since right now you don't see politics threads unless you visit their specific subforum.

Just because you are bored with politics doesn't mean everyone else is.

With the way its set up now, you just have to not click on the subforum and its out of sight - out of mind. Seems tailor made for you.

Of course you're bored, you try to play true neutral and never seem to actually want to take one side or the other.

Really? I see both as being colossally full of bullshit, so why not mix them? The same sort of douchebags are in charge of both...but I digress. This threads really over, right?

I agree with your agreement.
There are plenty of places on the intertubes where one can talk about politics. If you feel the need for bile here, just start up a thread about D&D 4e.
You are posting in a troll thread.
