Politics Section Hiatus
 

Maybe permanently? If the people that post there were half as active and 1/5 as passionate about cars in the rest of the forum, we'd be overrun with awesome posts. Instead people post page-long facts, opinions, and generally just generally disobey the only rule: be nice!

So, goodbye politics. Post more links to Jalopnik if you get bored please. It's the middle of winter and the last thing I want to hear about is politics. If you want to discuss politics on this forum, you must pretend you are speaking to your grandmother about it. Otherwise, keep your opinions to yourself.

Seriously, the focus of this forum is cars! I'll bring back this section when everyone that posts in it regularly posts at least 5 updates to their own project threads.

Fuck ya. finally, almost forgot it was a car forum

:nod:

it was gettin' outta hand over there.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

If you didn't like that section, why did you two read it? No one forced you to read those threads, just like no one forced you to comment on my POS car thread. :P

I'm with Pete on this one. You KNOW what you are getting into when you went into that section. If you didn't want to see any of it, don't go there.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

I very rarely visited that section, but the mere existence of it always spilled political overtones into other threads and comments in general. I'm not on a car forum to hear about others political beliefs, if I wanted that, I'd be on a forum for such a thing. It just doesn't(didn't) bring a good feeling to visiting the site honestly.

I'm glad you made the decision Scheides, it's a good one. Thank you.

Never knew it was there so I guess I won't miss it.

The same thing happened to NABR long ago, it draws me in for a little bit then gives me a headache.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

It was entertaining while it lasted...that is all. well, for me that is.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

The "If you don't like it don't read it" argument only works when you're not talking to the guy who has to moderate all of that crap. Scheides has every right to get rid of that section if he wants, and I don't blame him for doing so.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

That's what mattd and kracka were for. They were the active mods who actively posted stuff in there and even created threads. that kind of made them the section moderators.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

Lame. Now there will be no new posts to read.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

I posted content to create discussion. There were only two people in recent memory who resulted to name calling, but hey, what do I know?

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

Good riddence, i hate that freakin section. Every time i read a post there my blood gets boiling.... keep it gone.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

I hope your not referring to me.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

Seeing as how the political section was made to keep the political crap out of other threads, I think any talk of politics in a thread not about politics should be a 1 day ban. :D

Sounds like someone has a guilty consience, but I'm not naming any names.

Re: Politics Section Hiatus
 

And for the vast majority of us it was some decent discussion. Heated... but those are the best discussions anyways. I enjoyed it, and didn't even get banned.
