Of course, it has also led to me seeing fewer active topics, but that is a trade off I'm willing to accept. My biggest problem with that forum and those threads is that it taints my view of some posters and I'd really just rather concern myself with what consoles they like and which games they prefer. Those things are silly and irrelevant and don't matter at all. Politics, on the other hand, is the most important thing going on in the world right now and therefore we all tend to take it far more seriously. |
Do you mean you just filter it out with the filter settings? Because a lot of people interact with the forums from the front page, myself included, because the most active threads are there, and it gets bombarded with politics and there's no way to filter that to my knowledge. Like you said, politics should be removed by default, to be added in as an option, and removed from the front page as well under the same conditions. I think it would to a lot to stop scaring people off if some of the toxic stuff that ends up there didn't clog up the default views of the forum on Hot Topics and the front page.
