I've always thought we need a politics subforum here since my first day on this board. I even volunteer to move all the political threads (I'm an admin on another board which uses a similar platform, so I know the drill). And despite my slightly to the left of Michael Moore politics, I can be unbiased when doing routine thread moving.

I'm a mod on a different board and we have a nested or hidden forum for just the mods. It is pretty common practice to have a sub forum for political and "hot" topics that is "opt in" by request. This board software should support this option and if there is enough demand or requests it should not be too difficult to impliment. Such forums usually cary a slew of disclaimers such as "shark pool" type warnings, language is usually a bit freer, moderation is usually bit bit more relaxed, but porn is usually still not allowed. With all the porn on the net anyway, who needs to visit an automotive forum to find it?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ May 3 2007, 09:05 AM) [snapback]434653[/snapback]</div> I just logged in to pretty much say "shove it". First off, I used seductive avatars far worse than a non-cleavage emphasizing, Christina wearing a bikini. Something that is LAME enough for the front page of CNN. You know people here report the stupidest crap, old bible beating Quaker farts who think the Prius is too much of a sexually suggestive car, you know, amongst those lines. As for other "id's", that's bs. Except for ONE I created a few weeks back for fun going through various proxies to see if I could pull it off. Anything other than that ID and the Mystery Squid ID are NOT mine. Do what you will, ban the Squid ID, suspend indefinitely, whatever... I'm done.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ May 4 2007, 08:04 AM) [snapback]435374[/snapback]</div> I tried that once and the "Dear John" email from the admin was "we agree with your decision to leave permanently....". This ban request is far more deserving of being acted on. And MS was treated far better by the PC staff.
