Most of the political discussions on this board turn intro trashfires quick, wich is why I've been trying to stay out of them, personally.
Badly researched and borderline disingenious threads with sensationalist titles dont help much either. In that sense I'm not particularily attrached to the politics board, but I don't neccessarily think it should go.
Like others have pointed out, removing the board entirely is probably not the solution. The removal might alianate users who enjoy the politics board and discussions might just bleed over into general and gaming.
If the goal is to make the site appear more inviting to newcomers, then the politics board shold not be pushed on the mainsite. Members can adjust their preferences to have it appear, but by default politics threads should not appear in the Hot Topic section and non-members should not see politics threads unless they seek them out.
That has to go hand in hand with tight moderation, not only of the politics board itself, but also consequent moving and penalizing of threads that are created in the wrong section.
