Should The Political Discussion Board Remain?

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.

The filters on the Hot Topics page will remove the topics you filter, from the front page...

I wasn't aware. Thanks. Honestly I didn't try the filter setting in the forums because I usually browse specific boards when I go through the forums and only browse hot topics from the front page. Does it remember the filter setting you choose for future login sessions?

I maintain that I think for the health of the community it would be better for Politics to at the very least not be displayed in Hot Topics or front page by default, only showing up to members who have joined the forums and specifically opted to have them show up in Hot Topics.
