I've seen lots of complaints about Political Threads on VGC and lots of suggestions to just remove them completely which I've always argued against doing for multiple reasons but I'm definitely for removing Political Threads off front page. It's not just the complaints but also good users losing interest in VGC because of the Political Threads (Which are usually negative) Constantly popping up on front page.

Imo the front page should just be Gaming & General and maybe Movies/TV but I'm biased, I'd be perfectly fine with it just being completely Gaming as it is a Gaming website first and foremost.

The ideal solution would be to just bring topic filtering to the front page, then we won't need to move anything lol.

Can you bring that up to other Mods?

I do not know whether you guys have the power to do that, but it should at least be discussed I think.

What is this "front page" you speak of?

I've made this thread twice and have tried to make something else become popular on vgchartz :/

Both art and original music never carried on. It'd be nice if something else got traction on here

People need to learn impluse control. For the life of me, I can't understand the current trend of people not being able to ignore things they don't like. 

It's not a current trend. The internet as a whole has always had this effect.

It's a current trend. When I first got the internet 20 plus years ago, the majority of people gravitated towards things they liked. You skipped over the things you weren't interested in. Now the opposite is true.

Make the frontpage great again?

*bashes your head in*

Random acts of violence aside, agreed, fuck political threads. Not a single one of them is positive, and it only reminds us of humanity's ugliness.

It's always filled with 'stupid liberals' or rants about how (insert group) is actually behind everything. There's a boogey man to a lot of people, whether it'd be Trump, Soros, or anyone else.

 

Pretty toxic, but that's politics. Usually smaller threads are the more interesting ones. I made one about the UK's law changes surrounding acid attacks and the conversation was solid. Once it grows or involves us politics (typically left vs right), it turns into a shitfest

I think some people here have mistaken my intentions. I'm perfectly fine with the political threads on the front page, but I know that many aren't, so I'm willing to lose a little convenience for the sake of others.

I think the front page should be strictly gaming related.
