Is it possible to have a separate sub-forum for people who want to debate this? It’s getting into other threads like unflushed turds.

While I will acknowledge that you are one of the more reasonable members on here, there are plenty of others on here that would abuse it. I understand the argument of, "But why wreck it for everyone?" but the admin team and mods do not have the time to monitor the thread(s), take action against anyone breaching the rules and then getting into a PM war with the person who came under notice arguing which T&C did they break. After all of that, then deal with Franco. ![]() Russ may have other ideas, and as he is the site owner, I will respect those ideas, but it would do my head in. |

![]() Easy, make it opt in only to have access, have no moderators, let everyone have it out with each other. Then you can contain it to one part of the forum out of the view of others who don't want to see it. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 27-02-2024 at 07:14 PM. |

No he doesn't. We have areas of the forum where a reasonable amount of leniency is given for people to air their views but the interweb has plenty of right/left/centre forums full of nutjobs that would love you to join them.

At the core its a car forum, Id imagine there is a plethora of other forums out there for this.
World can be depressing enough with what is going on, most come here to get away from that crap.

If the core of this forum like other forums was on topic like if this one was just cars, then a fair amount of its content would not be here, just have a browse of the topics, its a real mixed bucket of topics and some car stuff thrown in already. |

The current system works pretty well I reckon, we can skirt around the outside edges of it when discussing politics in the context of its effect on the automotive industry and it stays mostly under control - its rare to get closed threads and holidays handed out. |

American politics has basically devolved to an us vs them proposition; the RedBlue Uniparty vs the entire country.

( Nutjobs on the forum) Sorry couldn't help myself morning coffee kicking in but in all reason-ability (I don't know if that's a real word) who doesn't go abit insane when working on a car every once in awhile In relation it actual topic ! It's been worded better by someone else but my useless opinion on the matter has always been, " America says' jump' we say 'how high' " |

I get that political discussions (both online and in the real world) regularly turn into shitfights, but with what the political class (and their backers) has done to the world of late and to the motoring enthusiast community for far longer, I can see the merit of some level of political chat.
Having said that, this is at the discretion of the forum owners/admins. |
