Fandom bans politics on GameFAQs (outside of Current Events)

Board 8

But would a better strategy not just be limiting all politics discussion to the social boards (except where it directly relates to the game or whatever), mandating that the topics always be tagged, and reducing the threshold of moderation while increasing the penalties for things like anti-LGBT sentiment and other bigotry? Seems like that would actually solve the problem rather than just making everybody mad while also making a quarantined extremism factory.
I just decided to change this sig.
