Is it time to ban all political discussion on DDF?

[Yo ssi]

Political discussion here is futile, unless it will follow the criteria set by @biobook.

But what does banning achieve exactly?

If you don't like a thread, don't click on it.

There's a difference between banning and moderating.

Is it time to ban all discussions about banning all political discussions on DDF?....

I don't think we should ban it, but I do think it should get it's own board, which can be ignored, where (like JS) the posts don't count towards your post count.

I think there should be a board dedicated to Politics.

I think someone managed to infiltrate the Count's brain and plant some anti American thoughts in it. Maybe the CCP, or maybe Bill DeBlasio. What is this un-American talk of banning political discourse?

Stops it from popping up in useful threads outside of JS.

Banning politics outside of JS is something I could get behind.

Should I start a poll?

especially in threads that aren't supposed to be about politics

And who decides what is considered political? IMHO this is a slippery slope.

[YitzyS]

All threads lead to politics. Or so it's been, recently, on DDF.

In fact, only Kool-aid drinkers would argue on this.

What happens when you have an entire board which was dedicated to a specific health topic and then somehow it became a political lightning rod?

Hey, don't you all go looking at me. I'm hardly the only one guilty of this!

Ban everything outside of JS and Covid-19 boards.

Of course not. It is me and always me. It will never be the Jewish guy.

Be careful. You are almost getting me to write up one of my parody news pieces.

That’s not an issue specifically with DDF, sadly the whole country has this issue

The issue with that is when the specific health topic in discussion has become a political lightning rod in and of itself.

Yeah, this is what I meant...DDF bickering isn't what I consider politics
