  • Should we rename this forum...

    to 'Politics Are Us'? With the majority of the post being so political in nature lately I was just wondering what y'all thought.

    While we can open a new forum just for politics in order to keep the soapbox clean

      Yes and Hpar_ should get his own forum as well!
      According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

        Seriously, politics is one big subject but it's still just 1 topic. The soapbox is for a myriad of things other than politics (such as: being bored @ work, jokes, Liz, women in general, health etc.)

        I don't see how 1 topic, as big issue as it might be should take over the entire forum.

          No - the "Soap Box" nicely reminds me of what (still) goes on in Hyde Park Corner - if anyone is ever in London on a Sunday, go and listen - lots of political preaching going on, and quite fun to watch...

            Bringing back the old...

            Me thinks we should attempt the old suggestion of creating a forum called 'The Toilet Bowl.' Anyone who posts political, racial or relegious threads that blow up (which most of them do), people can vote to 'FLUSH IT' and off it goes to The Toilet Bowl.

            There people can be whatever type of id10t they feel like without disrupting the Soap Box.

                Yeah, this wouldn't be bad. There are a couple of threads that I'd have liked to have continued, despite ongoing spam intefering with the topic. Rather than just lock it before it gets troublesome, you could shove it in the "Crapper" - although if it does get very offensive, it might still have to get deleted. Can't have racist etc opinions being expressed on MURC...can we?

                    No!

                    Or add the "toilet bowl" idea of Jam.

                      Too many other threads in here.

                              Hey I'll be the mod for the new board....I have entirely too much time on my hands at work so I can handle it
                              Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?
