Not Politics....tl:dr...🤣

Yeah, that's a hard no from me on politics. As toxic as that subject can get, I'd rather we not go down that road here. If I wanted to discuss politics and get into pointless arguments with strangers on the Internet, I'd go over to Reddit.

I think a successful politics forum would need some ridiculous controls and would really need to perform more like a high school debate team kind of thing.

Mods pick a weekly topic, posters volunteer for side A, side B, the week is spent with sides offering arguments, counter arguments to a topic. End of the week the topic is closed. No comments beyond those assigned the topic.

I don't think we want that kind of format here but when I think back to how much time I've spend in politics forums that's the best I can consider to break the mold.

According to my boss at work, moderation of an open forum makes it a news source. I think there were court cases about this in the USA a few years ago.
I disagree with his viewpoint greatly. In general he's talking about major social media, but he didn't know what to do when I brought up internet forms and moderation.
