If they really want to do this. They should keep politics off all social boards and create a dedicated politics board.

Making CE the defacto politics board was a dumb move. They should have reopened 261 and contained all the politcal shitposting to there instead.

See: Uta posted... I brought this up on CE, but I can answer this here too. If a game has political theming it's of course fine to talk about that. I don't think anyone is going to be moderated for talking about the anti-capitalist themes of Final Fantasy VII. I don't think anyone is going to get moderated for talking about Wolfenstein either. As for that second comment. Anything that's say, a basic human right or even just a basic fact about reality? That's not political. Just because one particular group likes to make science and social denial their political points doesn't mean those things actually are politics. We're not going to go around moderating people for being Trans or talking about Trans issues just because right-wingers are trying to spin being trans into a political statement.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/11-team-gamefaqs/80747428#33 --- He/Them "Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man...

Banning discussion that is "political" is too broad. If that's going to happen they need to be real explicit about what's political, otherwise you open yourself up to being modded for nearly any discussion because -
There are two genders: Male and political There are two races: White and political There are two religions: Christian and political There are two sexual orientations: Straight and political And pointing out that fact is definitely political. --- Will the little voice in the back of my mind screaming "This is a bad idea" please yield the floor. --Mikey Chivalry be hanged, and so will you. ...

should be all social boards, not just CE
a few mods have said that if a political topic is relevant to a game then talking about it will be allowed. I actually think that will be a good thing, because there are plenty of games that can benefit from political discussion without getting into specific stuff that's happening today. like, if you're talking about Fallout, then discussing the negatives of capitalism should obviously be allowed. especially after the show. but the people who call everything woke and shit will get modded when they're obviously just baiting and not having real discussion. * * --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... ...

Also, mods regularly commented about how much work it was to moderate 261 Baphometa posted... As mentioned a big issue, especially with system boards, is simply people not marking offending posts.I wonder why For many years it didn't seem to make a difference. Offending users would just come back over and over and over and over and over again. The band-aid solution you provided was "just ignore it bro." Of course people would stop bothering to report after a certain point, because it didn't do anything, and attempt to take matters into their own hands. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

If 261 had like a 1000 karma entry requirement, it probably wouldn't be nearly as hostile. A lot of it was trolls coming in on alts and starting shit.
How many times would someone walk into a fairly calm topic and intentionally say the most vile shit, and it turns out to be some punk with 5 karma? Course there were also the career trolls that kept coming back because surely second chance #48 will convince someone to finally clean up thei- and they posted another topic about "black on black" crime.

Human rights, science, basic decency, etc. are all spun as "political" in certain contexts. I don't think they care. They want all of it banned from here. If they want the boards to stick around (and that's a big if) they want them to be a place where people will ask a question about a game and get an answer. No arguments. No debates. Nothing.
