Just an idea...

All of your points are valid and I completely understand your reasoning Nick and Chris. It does suck though. The political threads are def overshadowing the important topics like giant tv's, redneck "hold-my-beer-watch-this" videos and of course MarylandMarks manhood debates :)

I think I need to resurrect my "moron of the week" threads.
I need more comedy.

Post on those and bring them to the top.

I have to think twice about doing anything that OSO does. The fact that they moved all of Tex and Cat's posts to one spot doesn't increase my desire to move all of Steve1 and BillR's posts to a specific spot.

The beauty of the forum setup is that the user can choose which threads to follow. I haven't been reading much of the political stuff at all... so the fact that it is sitting there doesn't bother me. In fact, when you don't click on them... the political crazy nonsense threads are barely annoying.
They should have a special section in the real bar for ugly chicks, but they don't... so I have to avert my eyes. Oh well.
 
The reason I would not like to divide it up is threefold. I don't want to have a section that nobody other than 2-3 people visit, and where there is nothing but sh&t slingng 24/7. I would also HOPE that anyone that posts in political topics realizes that the rest of the board can see it and may actually sit across a table or next to them at a bar at some point, so being civil is a decent idea. Finally I would hope that it would give anyone the opportunity to see a topic they feel strongly about and discuss it, rationally, without having to put on pads and a cup just to wade in. Rather than make a playpen for a few troublemakers I would simply rather put them out the door and let the wolves eat them :seeya::seeya:

Well put, Ted. :USA:

Ted, once again amidst the clutter you have made sense.

That's why he's the Lord of the Mods".......:)


Very well put Ted.
 
That reminds me of a friend I have in a retail business.

His favorite expression is "this would be a great business if it weren't for the customers".

I used to tell that to people every weekend at the marina LOL

I'll be the hot or not moderator. I'm a total metro. I know whats going on all the time. Gimme a shot
