The staff has been discussing the possibility of creating a sub-forum specifically for political and hot-button issues and to then leave general discussion for less controversial and more social topics. This would allow the people who just want to bullshit with friends to do so without having to "ignore thread" multiple times if they don't want to engage in the political discussions. Especially now, we understand that this can be rather divisive.
We'd like input from the membership and if it would be open to all members or only to site supporters (meaning for non-site supporters, there would not be an option for political discourse).
This would also apply to the "memes" thread, where political content would go in a new meme thread in the new sub-forum.
Lack of civility or getting butt hurt over what's deemed "political" would result in loss of access to the sub-forum.
This is all spit-balling now and nothing has been decided, so we want your input.
Thoughts?
