Please disallow political discussion on this site.

I understand the need to discuss certain things when they are project related.

However, ALL of the political discussions are as follows..

Troll post

knee jerk reaction from politically sensitive people

a few replies wanting to talk about it sensibly

more tinfoil hat bullshit

troll feeds thread

people look stupid with more extreme views.

and so on.

Politics have no place on a development forum. 100% of the time political discussion will result in many people becoming offended. It has always been considered impolite discussion and frankly it really doesn't have a place here.

I dont see how its any worse than any other subject not related to Spring?

Some people actually enjoy that kind of politics talk (or why else would they be writing).

I liked TAU's way of shoving all the US vs World flamewar threads into their own special subforum.

Obama is a racist.

[SinbadEV]

/me is sad he was left out of the chart... "SinbadEV posts something everyone ignores completely."... I need to start posting more again.

[Neddie]

Or playing.

[KingRaptor]

Banning potentially meaningful discussion outright is pretty excessive, but I think the moderation should keep political threads on an especially short leash.

EDIT: Though looking at the last political thread here makes me want to agree with smoth :/

[Das Bruce]

There are other places to discuss such things.
+1 banstick.

[Google_Frog]

I like the idea of an offtopic subforum that everyone can ignore.
