Topic	why are mods actually enforcing the politics rule
adjl 05/06/24 5:06:49 PM #24:	ParanoidObsessive posted... Most current events discussion (both on this site and in general) always devolves into stupidity. And there's no real reason for it to be here in the first place. Video games news? Sure. Pop culture news at a stretch, maybe. But global events and outright political discussion, no. There's "no real reason" for any of the social boards to exist at all. To single out any particular topics of discussion (especially such broad, poorly-defined ones as "politics") as being pointless makes very little sense. Aside from those with defined topicality (like Sports or Religion), social boards have evolved naturally to just be places where people talk about whatever's on their mind with no concerns about topicality. Certain topics have had to be made off-limits for the sake of keeping everything civilized and in line with the ToS, but other than that these are boards where pretty much anything goes. If you're going to start nitpicking about what discussions "belong" here, PotD should be wholly replaced by the Actual Poll of the Day board, and if that's what you actually want, you should probably just leave. --- This is my signature.
