There really needs to be a sticky politics thread.

I know that the political threads are dying down (finally), but they were really clogging up the feed in Brewster's Cafe for a while there. There needs to be a sticky thread where all of the political posts go.

That way it can be monitored by admins without the hassle of jumping from thread to thread.

There are a lot of problems for just having one thread of it. Maybe a sub-forum?

Just something to kind of keep it out of the way.

I'm not the best advocate for controlling political threads. A lot of the time I let it loose.

Wouldn't that just encourage it?

Well seeing a mass number of political threads might also encourage it.

or you could just stop making them???

ok, so you acknowledge that political threads are dying down, and yet decided to make a thread about said political threads. while implying they're an issue

sorry, but I'm not following the step-by-step logic of this thread's creation

They are still present. Like the one about Trump reversing the order on transgender bathrooms. I've seen quite a few arguments in that thread too.

Meh. That one isn't that bad.

Yes. The voice of wisdom is heard!

i mean you could just not click on them. i'd understand if all political threads were just "trump sucks" no!" "yes" "no" yes!!" and so on but like idk but i think it is good to bring up and discuss political issues, especially if they are about human rights or stuff that might members of this forum. just bc u dont like those threads doesnt mean no one likes them

I hate the argument "just don't click on them"... it's a weak one that tells someone to ignore a post that is always at the top.

Yea, no. Political threads cause arguments and the stickied thread will turn into a big argument. It shouldn't exist. Full stop.

 

[easpa]

Political threads almost always seem to result in arguments. That being said, confining them to a sub-forum doesn't sound like a bad idea if it'd put them out of the way of people that don't want to see them. Either that or ban them outright, but that would be bordering on dodgy territory. Or ideally, everyone could try and stick to civil discourse but do you really see that happening??

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I think we've had enough closed political threads to see TBT can't handle them. A stickied topic would just get locked like the rest of them.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

If you don't like them, don't read them. And if you're bothered by political threads on Brewster's, here's something to know. I am bothered by red wasps when I'm walking outside in the summer. But I can't force them to fly somewhere else. I have to deal with the wasps as long as I don't chase after them. If I can handle walking outside when there are five wasps flying, then don't let the political threads ruin your experience.

idk, figure out how to blacklist certain threads from view on the browser then

makes sense

Theres no need for a sub forum or a sticky lol, most politics threads get closed anyway
