Idea for dealing with political & armageddon threads

[JennsPeeps]

I'd rather talk poo than talk poo-litics!

I am, after all, a poo expert: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=91786

Amen to that!

Not to mention that if voting was meant to be public, there wouldn't be curtains on the voting booth.

I dont care who you are voting for, nor do I care why. And if I wanted anyones personal opinions or views, I would ask for them privately.

But publicly posting your political, OR RELIGIOUS, views is intrusive.

LOL - I have to agree, I don't DO the whole political thread, until it goes south! I generally just read and laugh to myself....

I'm WILDSKY - and I approve this message.

That is just asking for BAD news!

On another forum I am a moderator on, we had to completely remove the politic forum. It was nothing but fights and drama and we lost several members over it in the last couple of months. If the site the forum is on is not politic, don't invite it by adding a seperate forum.


In general, I do not think people can handle themselves in a respectable manner when it comes to religion and politics... its a hot button topic.

IMO

Hence the built-in eject button!

I'm telling ya, it's a courtesy flush to close those political threads.

Honestly, my suggestion was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Think of it as my own "Modest Proposal".

Don't isolate the problem, highlight it!

My name is Jenn, and I approve of the quoting of this wisdom-filled, earnest to the utmost degree message.

Personally, I always look first for the closed topics or southbound ones. They're good entertainment.

Jenn, I can't believe the mods haven't christened you "Poo Expert" yet!

Oooh ooh ooh, how about government by and for the people? If a thread gets 3 complaints (3 strikes from diff people), it auto-flushes.

Might not be too hard to do in the database.

Now that sounds like an excellent idea!​

If you guys even knew how many more threads would be locked / closed on that principle your head would spin.

We get a lot of reports / complaints.
