We banned porn, even from the NSFW board. We can't even link to porn. Why not ban politics too? Get rid of the discussion board, and if it shows up in other boards where it doesn't belong, moderate the users. People will stop posting the stuff eventually once they catch on that it's being taken seriously. There's plenty of other stuff to talk about besides politics. It's a gaming forum, lets talk about games for crying out loud. Or games sales. Sure, some people enjoy it, but they can go enjoy it somewhere dedicated to politics. They'll get more enjoyment out of it that way, if they're honest with themselves. Meanwhile here they'll be forced to contribute something related to games. The site will be richer for it, not poorer. If they're only here for political discussion, and willing to leave the community if they can't talk about it, let them leave. I highly doubt they will, but if they did over something like that, they're not worth the trouble. I don't care what their opinions are on politics, I care about their opinions on games.

I saw no benefit but saw you wanting to decide what other people are allowed or should do.

If I'm completely honest, I wish the porn weren't banned and wish it were just quarantined to a particular part of the site that you had to opt into, but I respect the decision to get rid of it. Our community doesn't need porn, and when we want to discuss or share pornographic stuff with other members of the VGChartz community, we've found ways to do so that don't involve the forums. I'd argue the same is true for politics, and losing the Politics board would just result in things like Discord servers for politics that could each have their own rules, which would avoid the issues I've raised.
