Good, politics on here and much like 4chan arent really talking about politics but more so thinly veiled racist posts.

Cause ive been here long enough to remember people like Admiral talking about super racist things like the bell curve theory and this board was full of the didnt do nothing posts during BLM and george floyd.

It was 10x worse on the politics boards.

The politics board was damn good as a springboard for finding local and global news. It wasn't perfect. It was full of bloated hacks, people who were quick to excuse violence, and so on...but it was necessary and helpful.

Other sites do exist for this but few have good filters on them. This one had a relatively competent mod team and a better search function.

Welp, now CE will become the new Politics board.

Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dah-di.
If you are wise, you'll listen to me.

What do you get when an army of alts
dodge bans and keep spewing verbal assaults?
How do you flush away all of these trolls,
smoking them right out of their hole?

I am glad the board is gone.

Oompa Loompa doom-pa-di-dah,
with the board closed then we will go far.
You will live in happiness, too,

I have no idea why. The politics board was 95% far left, so its not like it was some sort of conservative cesspool. The discourse was kind of shitty because of a number of attack-dog posters, but thats no different than other boards.

If you are really into politics and watch political discussions and all the major roundtables on Sunday from Fox to MSNBC, you'd understand that political discussion has by its nature, stuff that is full of what makes up Gamefaqs TOU.

Politics has a bunch of trolling. From "you have to make a cake for people you don't like" to Tuberville's "What you call white supremacist, I call Americans", it is why I've always said that there's no trolling in politics ...cause trolling is part of the process of politics to someone whenever the position is something someone doesn't approve of.

Politics eventually focuses on the things you'll have a problem with. Nobody needs to settle with politics that which is agreed on.

Politics is messy, loud, verbal push and shove.

If 261 was causing too many moderation reviews, it was because what was against the TOU is the natural operations of the domain of politics.

If there were too many moderations, it was because too many ran to mods to fight their political discussion battles. I never once reported anyone, fyi.

I'll miss 261 cause it was where I got all the Twitter/Podcast-Youtube pundit highlights I don't bother following ...you know, the millennial and younger targeted mediums.

I can't see myself coming to G'faqs more now ...I had come here all the time and the site never comes up on the first page when I do search for game related info.

If 261-politics existed in the 1950s, it's likely that at some point they would've modded the pro-desegregation and pro-interracial marriage posts as offensive
