For me splitting up the forum to too many boards makes it less convenient to use.
+1Less convenient for reading AND posting. For example, if I had wanted to post (and I didn't want to, but if I had...) the article from last week's NYT that politicians in NYS banned the use of corporal punishment in private schools, would that go under News? Politics? GD? JS? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/26/nyregion/hasidic-yeshiva-corporal-punishment-law.html
So you're in favor of option 3 I assume?
But it seems from the war thread that it isn't likely to happen in this one.Mind, as I said, I would love it if it did.
I vehemently oppose to mixing [General] News with Politics
+1The majority of the current poll didn’t vote yes (option 1 above). If a new poll was put up as to whether the Politics board should be renamed to include News and Current Events, the majority of voters would oppose that.
I'll agree to a News, Current Events, and Politics board if it means we'll get a weekly News Roundup on DDMS
Can't vote, as I am on tapa, but I would vote yes and move politics there too
I used to rely on ddf for major news updates, being that dan is refusing to have a split thread just for updates i'll have to revert to other forums that do have just news posts, it's impossible to keep up with ten unread pages just to get an update of the current events
DDF desperately needs Reddit-style nestled comments, which would mitigate a lot of this
I find that super annoying, at least they way it's implemented on Reddit.
+1. Very hard to follow.
And very hard to see what's new since you last checked
is it possible for mods to restrict a user for a specific thread? if yes anything opinionated is a strike, strike three you lose your write access to that thread, it will not take much, you're not sure? post in the discussion thread.
