Should we remove politics from the GF?

One potential benefit of the PF would be that it could have its own more stringent set of rules. Or Code of Conduct.

Fuck off Code of Conduct.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Fuck off Code of Conduct.

Been done.

[VladimirIlyich]

Been done.

Needs to be done at least 72 times until we catch them all.

[setreal]

You should insist that only paid members can vote

 

What is this, the US?

I think updating the ignore function, as Boss said, so that you don't see quoted posts would be a great step forward. That way you could completely bypass any poster you do not wish to read. 

 

As an aside, how about ignore function for posters on certain forums ? I like reading certain people in the MF but have them on ignore due to their trolling on the political threads.

Haha. I'll give you that one.

Both good ideas.

 

If people keep quoting the forums biggest twats it becomes almost a waste of time having them on ignore.

 

I also like reading some posters on the ff but not the gf, and some the gf but not the ff.

[Tony Moanero]

I had a handful of posters on ignore but found I was enjoying the forum too much, so I reinstated them.

Not getting drawn into politics, as peoples views are their views, but an ignore function is entirely against the basis of politics, free speech and debate. 

 

A head in the sand, for me, is not an option if you want to debate politics.

I don't think that's true. By choosing to ignore someone, you're not impinging their free speech. As for debate, there's very little of that going on in any politics thread. The people who'd genuinely like to have an open-minded discussion about the issues of the day tend to swerve those threads as they're largely populated by those who've made their minds up long before they've posted. Any salient points will be disregarded, and at most refuted once enough counter evidence has been accumulated from their websites of choice, namely ones that cater to their views anyway.

 

Some of the best posters on this site are ones I have to actively avoid in certain threads, and a more subtle ignore function would aid discourse for those of us who don't want to interject into the slanging match of echo chambers colliding.

 

Just my 2p though.

Don't bring me into this, cunt.

[Section_31]

Yeah I'd be happy with that. Before politics was shit it was a Good place to chat with like minds, but with so much shit out there would be happy to have the GF as pure escapism. Saying that I'm not that arsed either way really.

This thread could’ve been written yesterday. 
 

Look at the state of us. 

[YorkshireRed]

No way. The depth of analysis on here is second to none.

 

Obviously I mean the breakfast thread but the politics is a tolerable diversion while I await the latest shambles to be posted. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Politics is life, death and everything in between.

[Captain Turdseye]

Almost 57% are in favour of a new forum. 
 

You can’t argue with facts. 
 

Well, you can and you will but you could be doing it on the PF - Politics Forum. 
 

Fuck off back to the PF. 

[Juniper]

It’s not the subjects that are ruining some threads, it’s some of you lot that start and continue personal vendettas, in the quest to be right as armchair experts. 
 

Which then spills over to other threads all over the shop. 
 

This place can be a bit of a cesspool for twat-ish behaviour sometimes.
