I can't believe I'm saying it, but we shouldn't have a poltical thread anymore. It causes far to many flame-wars, and does no good. If someone really needs to post something political, they can do it in a billion other places (neo-gaf, reddit, even 4chan is a better place since its not here). I get that people will still post relgious stuff on the "general" forum, but it will at least slow down this sort of crap. This community is surprising good for anything online, and if removing the political thread does any good, it should happen.

Not only does religious talk cause flame wars but many other gaming related threads.

OP- You can't really say this and this can't really be discussed because it's an open forum. There are not only religious threads that are toxic but also video game threads that are toxic and you can't stop something because you do not like it. My advice is just to ignore these threads. There's a way to stop political threads to not show in your hot topics.

Kind of where I wanted to start in previous post. I agree 100%. If we want to  get rid of toxic let start with primary purpose of site first.
