Presidential Election Subforum?

[Captain Ewok 1,900]

I am only testing this out guys. If it does not work then I plan to move all the posts back . The ultimate test is to see how well the forum works. If it doesn't then I will revert back to how it was.

Is the separate forum *so* inconvenient? What's the big deal? It's not like it's a censorship issue, just organizational.

The separate forum is retarded.

If political posters are this frowned upon by the powers-that-be on this site, I'll just stick to exclusively posting on the other sites I use *shrug*

Seriously

I am highly amused by the notion that the political posting is "worse" than it used to be.

Without political posts on OT, it will go back to what I remember it being when I was a n00b. A bunch of over the hill chicks exchanging kitty pics and bland recipes and giggling about astroglide.

Tell you what, I will move the posts back and start a poll on this. I can always reopen the new forum depending on how the community votes . Clearly there is a lot of resistance on both sides.

Thanks Capt. for addressing the issue.

Gupt, you know I enjoy most of the political posts as much as you...all I'm suggesting is that the political posts that are specific to the candidates and the election be in their own subforum, under the waters calm down a bit.

but then you will have to manage your posts in both forums?

Seriously. I'm not sure I'm understanding the objections here.

Actually, I'm thinking this (click link) would be a better solution (no need for subforums).

Fine. Here's your bat.

Exactly! There is no censoring going on. It just seems that VJ is resistant to change, as usual. Even if it is, imo, change for the better.

And then, after November? Illegal immigrants? Coup planning for Jan 20? More strippers? Bodily fluids thread take 5? Say Anything Thread take 10?

I'm those all those add to the top-notch quality of threads in OT.

What a joke.

The difference is that there are not 20 threads on strippers posted every day. There aren't 20 threads on bodily fluids posted each day. There aren't the sheer numbers of posts on these topics as there are with political threads.

I'm NOT against political threads. I am merely thinking of the other users of VJ who wish to be able to participate in OT once more. Many haven't lately because they feel a little overwhelmed by the constant barrage of anti/pro Clinton and anti/pro Obama threads. A different forum for politics is VERY normal on the internet, it's not some strange abhorrent creature that VJ has pulled out of its behind. The majority of big forums on the net HAVE a political forum.

In fact, you should be chuffed that it is being considered, not offended. It means that there is a huge amount of activity regarding politics, so much so that is deserves its own forum.

Simple fact is that the OT section of VJ is being over-run with politics, so much so that it isn't giving other topics a chance.

And what if I don't want to view about how menstral blood makes your skin better? Tough sh*t?

Then don't read the thread. That's the advice you use often in regards to the political threads.

Well, to be fair the political threads do tend to be well marked with regards to content. If I click on a thread about stroke prevention or "beauty tips", I probably won't find a discussion about the Pennsylvania primary

On VJ you can never be too sure!
