I personally can't stand many of the political conversations on this site, but I don't want to see the sub-forum go. It's an important outlet for some of our members.
I do think it would be great to onboard a mod or two who is deeply interested in politics and is willing to monitor threads very closely. I'd also like mods to really lean on rule #3 for political threads. That means no "deceptive hooks" and thread creators should "engage the thread." A substantive, clear OP can start a controversial thread on the right foot, and an attentive host can manage a civil conversation. I do think political threads have become a refuge of sorts for trolls, and these suggestions might curb that bad behavior.
Also, as @morenoingrato wrote, it would be outstanding if political threads about entertainment media were labeled as such. I've mentioned this on Discord, but I've been increasingly turned off from movie discussion because it feels like 50% of movie threads are intended to advance a political argument.
Finally, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this discussion.
