I understand the idea but I guess I just do not see the point.
I can easily go through the thread titles in OD and pick out which ones are political and which ones are not. Having all the political threads in one location just makes them easier for me to find. I still have to click on the thread to enter it. If someone does not wish to participate in a political thread or a thread of partially clad women then they need not click on the thread to enter. Locating all such threads in one location does not change that requirement. The same people who participate now will continue to do so.
This is not a location issue, it's a self control issue. Relocating the threads will not change anything. I like arguing about politics and will search them out. So will all the others who participate in them.
I lost it once and it was triggered by BB. I looked at my post and knew before I hit submit that I would get a infraction. Never had one before and I knew you had to get a few before you got punted so I hit submit. He was and is a jerk IMO (yea I said it, hit me with an infraction if you must) and as far as I am concerned, his post had it coming. If you do not know when you are crossing the line in this place you are not too bright and others will point that out for you if you are not up to the task.
I honestly do not understand what all the fuss is about. This is not a democracy. Pelican owns the web site and they are the ones who now make the rules. We do not get to vote on them. You are free to voice your opinion and they are free to tell you to pound sand. You opinion is not equal to their opinion. The mod work for them. They select who the mods are. That also is not up for a vote. Our opinion on the mods is not equal to their opinion. If you do not like the way they run the forums, there is an entire web out there at your disposal. Don't let the server kick you in the ass on the way out. Not your rules, not your house. We are here by invitation. You may feel bias toward you, tuff crap. Deal with it or leave.
Reading some of these post is like listening to grade schoolers
"Johnny is touching me......."
"Johnny did it first ..........."
"Johnny did it why can't I...."
Guess what? I am pretty sure no one gives a crap. Some here have figured that this forum is not for them and have left on their own. Others have been escorted off by security. Perhaps some of you may wish to do the same if you are not happy. I suspect you will not be missed.
We are guest here. Act like it.
Edit:
sfloriII, none of this was directed at you except the first sentence.
