But it is possible, YOU just don't have that power. Leaving the question - why is one not shown, and one is?

A topic about dick lenght is just as off topic as a topic about why texas sucks on a video game related website. Both are easily scrollable past.

Random stab in the dark here; because one is an admin, and the other is not?

(I know it's not what you're referring to by the way, lol)

I think he meant NSFW and Politics.

People complain too much on this website. It has a lot of neat features I don't see most other websites have. It's not perfect but neither is any website.

Is it really that hard for people to just not click on threads they don`t want to read? Seriously?

Ultimately, this is what The Mod Team is going to stick by, since we don't have the power to remove them, yet. I tend to lean more your way on the perspective, but as a team, we've discussed moving the topic for quite a while, now.

I'm not gonna tell you guys how to do your job, but why don't you simply place more guidelines or enforce the rules more in politics? That or mods just for that sole purpose would be nice.

There have been at least 3 threads that I have seen asking for this to happen. Look, either ignore the threats, or remove it manually yourself. I do agree that the political discussion thread should be eliminated from the site, but that likely isn't going to happen anytime soon. So just learn to control yourself and avoid the topic if you feel you're going to ask for trouble.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Again, I'm not saying this for myself Well, maybe it is for myself, as there are certain people who I don't want to leave, but I myself am fine with political threads.

Some of The Mods simply don't like the Political Discussion, and often times, it's a sensitive issue.

It's funny you say that, a couple of weeks back me and Miguel were talking about how we think we're actually a little too lenient when it comes to moderations in political threads... 

I'm not trying to suck up to become a mod or whatever, but I think finding someone who'll be willing to deal with the mess would benefit everyone.

 

Interesting conversations have no harm, but toxic ones create nothing but issues

TRUMP. Anything about him will get a lot of responders out to hate or defend the great American President.

I for one have no issue with the occasional political threads on the front page, keyword being occasional. Now if they started taking over half the threads on the main page I'd agree, but it hasn't reached to that level.
