Mod Request: Political Subforum
- Thread starter 138
- Start date

The world, gaming, and the news is political. Almost everything is political.
Even one's apathy regarding the news and politics is inherently political. Not taking a stand is political. Wanting to bury one's head in the sand is political.

Why not DM an admin. Mods can't do shit for that?

lol I thought this was gonna be a request to not have to see political stuff whilebrowsing OT.
Can't we just...not open politics threads to avoid politics? I mean, that's how it's always worked on every version of this forum and it's been fine. There have been less threads in the past - but then again, the world was different then.
There's a PoliERA thread, if that's what you're looking for...

Also, yeah bad idea. One of the best things about ERA is not having six billion forums to go through. Four is fine.

I'm not a fan of the suggestion. If you want to consolidate your political discussion you can visit one of the community threads.
If you made a thread about the non-political subject you wanted to discuss, it'd be on the front page right now.
If you want to talk about it there's a community thread
if you are tired of reading about it I believe you can have thread titles with key terms not show up. So, just block Trump threads.

You must be reading a different OP than I am
Now I can get behind this. Please no more lootbox watch dog threads based on lootbox watchdog YouTube videos crowding up my pure gaming side.
Sorry. I skimmed. That really was my bad.
In that case, PoliEra is in Hangouts OP.
We should have different subforums for TV, Wrestling, Sports, Music, Animals, Photos, Art, Electricity, Houses, Fruit, Grass, Statues etc., etc
You're right, my fault.
Welp, PoliERA was linked in here, so that's the solution.
Politics are too mundane and boring.
We need a science vs religion subforum to fill our shitposting needs.

Please don't segment the forum too much. I like reading politics and general postings and i dont want to switch between tabs twice every time
Because the nice thing about this format is that you have OTs and communities for specific interests, but the the potluck of off-topic means you have access to a whole range of topics. Can really broaden your horizons.
And when you click the link to the subforum you don't know which of the many lootbox thread you'll end up in.
You can't lump all animals together like that. That's madness! Cat owners and dog owners won't stand for it.
To be fair to OP I believe it is his desire to be able to navigate and find politics threads easily not hide them. That is what was said anyway, perhaps this is a passive aggressive reverse psychology attempt to purge ERA of political speak....hmmm OP...hmmmm :P
You'd need a separate forum for that, no subforum is gonna contain all that arguing without imploding
Having a million subforms is a bad thing because it prevents topics from being seen by as wide a possible audience, splinters the userbase, increases homogeneity, decreases informative discussion, and means users have to look through a bajillion subforums instead of just 2.
It's just a bad idea all around. Having as few as possible was the best thing ERA (and previously GAF, credit where credit is due) did.

Segmenting forums always ends up hurting a community more than helping. Community threads themselves are already their own sub-section which is a nice solution.
I think people who've been on the internet a long time have seen how forums who segment everything end up. One of the reasons for this communities success (prior and present) was it did not do that.

No passive aggressiveness intended at all. Just thought it was a good idea.
This was discussed to death on the migration discord and was pretty much unanimously shut down for a variety of reasons.
