Depends. Political discussion as it relates directly to gaming is still allowed. A lot of things also still aren't technically a political issue even if politicians like to make it that way. For example, I certainly wouldn't be moderating posts talking about the BLM stuff in Spider Man games. For one, when I was in the military we were explicitly told that BLM is not a political statement, and that soldiers were allowed to participate. And for two, it's in the game itself. People can totally talk about that. Hmm. Alright. Thanks for the clarification. I understand this is a gaming website first and foremost. --- (He/Him) ... Copied to Clipboard!

My prior snarky post aside, for real, why not revive 261 and just give it the same constraints? High karma limit to join it, and/or private, Purg leads to being banned forever? It's what 261 members wanted for forever, and plenty of CE posters don't care so much about politics talk.
Killing 261 was always dumb. It kept the bulk of political discussions in a box for the site, and users wanted simply a harder barrier to entry to combat the trolls. Deleting it opened that box and allowed it to scatter to the other boards, where it naturally started to take root. So why not just bring it back and impose these strict limits? Same idea, but without getting CE involved. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also! I can't see how CE really impacts anything else on the site. You need to go looking for it.As a Guide Writer I can say that they do want the answers section to be a bigger part of the site. Bounties now require a certain number of Q&A to be filled out by the author of the guide. I highly doubt they're planning on tossing out the boards. Even just from like, a pure practicality standpoint. A lot of information on this site is contained in random posts on random boards or stickies.

I will write a version of what I did when 261 got shut down: I don't think that public discussion forums are well served by limiting discussion of basic topics. Any topic where people gather to discuss something can turn toxic if the folks involved are not approaching it in good faith-it is the unfortunate part of the internet and always has been. Dealing with that is the cost of doing business if you are operating a series of discussion forums. Special rules for politics or any other topic won't solve the toxicity problem. It just means that you won't get any engagement on your site during an election year when politics is what people want to gather to discuss.
There have been many toxic political discussions at this site over the years, and I am certainly not volunteering for the difficult job of moderating those discussions. But if the goal is to make rules that eventually eliminate all possible disagreement and controversy, then I just don't see the point of the discussion forums at all. When we are finally left with boards for the five games that everybody likes, that will be fine, but also pointless to engage with. My humble opinion is they should either run actual discussion boards, with all the headaches the internet has always had, or just be done with it. Because the final product of excising all topics that could lead to an actual conversation won't be something people want to spend time with anyway. --- An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it. ...

I think the jist is, just don't "be weird" about it, so to speak That's worthless when the potential punishment is now "insta ban from CE". maybe it's weird, maybe not, and it ask 10 mods and users, you may get 11 different answers.
