No, after virtually every post some dude will write "Belongs in this thread".

While I don't think it's 100% necessary, I'd say it can't hurt and regardless it should be a rule that unless the OP isn't politics related no politics should be discussed in that thread.

If we're gonna break off from Just Shmooze, can it at least be for Just Snooze? If we do politics, we're going to need yet another board for Just Booze.

Every thread in the forum will have to be in that board.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used to create a religious discussion.

If you do it, have each POLITICS post THAT IS PUT IN ANY OTHER BOARD subtract from (or better yet, apply a permanent discount factor to their post and like count) peoples post count

FTFY
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Hmm, maybe we'll need to have a runoff.
Will we allow new registrants to vote in that?

If it's reversible and doesn't take too much time. Why not try?

It'll be like the responsive design trial.
