Seanchan 04/16/24 4:51:23 PM #243:	UltimaterializerX posted... That's what this place is though? Or did my contribution page suddenly stop only covering video games? So let's take a look at all the other shit being talked about on the "GameFAQs Contests" board at the moment: * Game Show Mount Rushmore - off topic * Premier League and Football/Soccer - off topic * Someone going to Argentina - off topic * Music - off topic * Wrestling - off topic * Crapping your pants - off topic You know what, I think like 99.5% of this board is off topic! Remove it all except for Contests Stats and Discussion. UltimaterializerX posted... "political discussion does not make sense as a core driver of conversations on a site dedicated to video games and gameplay" This is true, and people keep ignoring that forums and such that ban this stuff get less toxic overnight by default. I don't want GameFAQs turning into Twitter. There's a reason I come here and not there. The things and topics I don't care about, I ignore. I don't give a single fuck about Mafia, and so I use the tag and thus don't see it. People like it, I don't, I move on. We had one fucking topic for politics! And when users in that topic got all stupid for a few pages, I'd simply click forward until Thorn posted something interesting. We, as someone else said, organically came to a workable solution that was very easy for people to ignore. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:979944946] in Fandom ban...
