I really feel bad for the moderation team here at VGC. These people all volunteer their time to help out a website that's about videogames. That's why we're here. And then the real world and all its BS encroaches on that and everyone feels like they should just be able to say whatever they want without repurcussion, as if saying "no offense, but..." is all that is needed to make their statement protected by some ridiculous "free speech" clause that most people don't seem to understand doesn't apply to private websites.
As I've mentioned before, I don't think it would be useful to remove the Politics section as it does provide people with a place to discuss these issues and it keeps the other forums free of such volatile subjects, but the amount of moderation required to keep the Politics forum civil is a fulltime job in and of itself. It's not even the content of many of the posts, but rather the tone and tenor of many of them that make them the most incendiary.
Anyway, the only point of this post is to express my sympathy for the moderation team and to accept whatever decision they make. This isn't a paid job for any of them and babysitting this website is difficult enough in the Console Wars sense, let alone the real world dumpster fire we're all currently living through.
