Presidential Election Subforum?

[Sister Fracas 5]

Y'know...I've heard several good reasons to have a political sub-forum, but I've yet to hear a good reason *not* to have one. Is this a "segregation" thing that's driving opposition? Because VJ is heavily segregated into multiple topic areas, and it makes the boards so much more usable than if everything were in one forum. Or is this, as has been suggested, just a resistance to change?

maybe cuz this is an immigration board, not an OT board?

Then perhaps we should do away with O/T altogether

Sure. I think it would be a great idea.

Some of the O/T threads do smell like week-old corpse flesh.

Obviously there is an off-topic forum already in place--and correct me if I'm wrong--but it does seem to be sanctioned by the powers that be. So if this is the best anti-political-sub-forum argument going, I can't really see what all the fuss is about.

I don't see what all the fuss is about....If there's a thread with a political title, and you don't wish to participate, then don't open it.......It will move down the page and eventually dissappear.

Frankly, I get annoyed over all those mindless threads that serve no purpose other than to increase one's post count.

Yes - and I recall there was a similar discussion months back about putting them away in some seperate section. And if memory serves one about sexual content. Don't like, don't click.

After thinking about this more, I've decided that I don't think anything should be done. yes, they are annoying, but what would be even more annoying is the 1 grillion 'organizers' moving everything once a whisper of politics is mentioned.

So when do we put this in place? 2012 is just around the corner.
