We can't even have a nice discussion here I guess I said it wouldn't get at the roots of the problem, but maybe the tree branch is much smaller than I had previously thought.

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

That's just politics in general here in the US. Ever since Bill Clinton the presidency has seemed more like a reality TV show rather than a significant position of office.

But as for the whole discussion thing, I tend to just try and make conversation, but it normally ends up in the shitfest category, for the exact reasons you stated. I also have to be VERY careful about the subject I enter, because depending on the story, I don't want to deal with the one sided banter from either side. I can understand why someone would remove Politics from the front page.

After All, if you're going to VGChartz, odds are it's not for politics.

Is it really that hard for people to just not click on threads they don`t want to read? Seriously?

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. 

People like to voice their displeasure as much as possible. Truth is, a large chunk of people would be less satisfied if they didn't have anything they consider worth bitching about.

Ultimately, this is what The Mod Team is going to stick by. We have no need to remove the topics from the front. It's very simple to keep on scrollin' and ignore!

There are decent points on this thread on why that is not the case, not to mention other Mods have already posted in agreement of the OP.

Oh shit, you actually quoted his original post!!



lol
In my defense, I hit quote, I got sidetracked, and then replied a couple minutes later.

Agreed otherwise, bring back the nsfw threads on the front page

Agreed, because honestly I feel the politics section can get even worse then the NSFW section. Especially since most NSFW threads are lighthearted vs the serious nature of politics.

The NSFW threads are fairly tame in any case, since even in those threads there are still rules on what is allowed.
