ORIGINAL: dreamerdreaming I don't even see a reason for the politics section of the thread, because none of the talk that goes on there changes people's minds. It just turns to anger and insults. Its not productive, and has little or nothing to do with BDSM except that reading an entire thread there would make a cruel punishment. I vote for taking down that whole section. It wasn't there until recently, and the site was fine without it. Why cater to the people who kept posting those pointless political threads? Those threads, and thread-arguers, existed earlier, and would appear in Off Topic Discussion, and P&RS. It was actually a user suggestion -- a thread with a lot of yes votes -- that caused creation of the Politics area. The idea was to separate it out from the other two areas. It's doing that job pretty well, I think. Different areas of the boards may be modded differently. I'm not sure about now, but when both Mod 6 and Mod 11 were active, the Gorean section was modded differently from the rest of Community Discussions, for example. So the mods may have more patience with neverending threads in Politics than elsewhere. Alternatively, perhaps more users are reporting problems outside the Politics board, so the mods don't investigate there as much as they do other places. Hide and ignore sounds like a reasonable strategy to me.
