Closed threads in politics

[Felix]

You need WB's Mode Red, Green, Yellow on the case

I am missing the current news thread, but I can see why you binned the politics shite.

You mean this one?

No...the news thread in the deleted section...

Yeah, i'm a no on that one in truth mate. That's going to turn into a shit-show within minutes. I'd love to think otherwise, but we all know exactly how it would go and how quickly that would happen

Might be my imagination but there seems to be more threads about bikes and more people posting since that section got closed

Bugger all else to talk about, so it's back to trivial stuff.

The irony of that statement

Bugger all else to fight about, so it's back to important stuff.

Maybe have a "politics discussion day", say Wednesdays for 24 hrs. That way anyone interested get to dicuss/shout about stuff but it doesn't go on day after day and they'll have to wait a week to pick it up. Just a thought.

You can see in just a couple of days how much nicer a feel this place has, a lack of arguments, spiteful comments, bitching and complete insanity. It's a whole world of a nicer place.
There's nothing i'm seeing on here that's making me think i should bring the politics discussions back.

[DefTrap]

I have to say I agree, there's nothing positive about bringing it back, a total headache for you.

The forum has instantly become a nicer place to be and it's rediscovered its raison d'etre - people chatting about motorbikes in a friendly fashion. Top work.

About time it got binned tbh

[ZRX61]

Has the boss over reacted?

I can live with closing for a bit, locking the Trump thread and encouraging people to play nicely, but banning ALL politics and current affairs is IMO a tad OTT.

It will make for a very quiet life.

I'm loving it & the timing couldn't have been more perfect

One of the aircraft mech groups on FB has one solitary thread every Wednesday where anyone can post anything they want.. but the rules are no one can reply to anyone else's comment. IIRC it gets deleted at midnight.
It's mostly just memes.

Special is off...

[ZRX61]

Turns out there's no option under the "report post" drop down menu to report political posts...
