Too much politics?

[Adis]

Do you think we have too much politics on MURC?

[Wombat]

If it gets out of hand, it goes in the Temp forum. You don't have to follow it there.

This potential problem has already been addressed.

Agreed. The discussion of politics on MURC is no different than the discussion of any potentially controversial or debatable topic. MURC is community and politics are obviously something the (active) member-base enjoy discussing. As Wombat said, anything that gets out of hand or is obviously inflammatory gets sent to the Temp.

It's really as simple as that.

Yep. It can't all be PWC++ threads.

Those voting 'no' should elaborate.

I never liked talking about politics, I know some die hards out there, I normally stay clear of those LOL

I agree. Though it's not posting on technical matters, at least it's talking about SOMETHING of substance.

There are several forums where you can talk about politics, I think we don't need that here. I know, I must not open that threads but via political comments picture about some members in my head was changed. I don't like it, I would like to respect all members by their tech knowledge, good jokes, interesting posts...

Sorry for my bad english...

The results of this poll are difficult to assess because of the way you worded the question, Adis.

The title of the thread is: Too much politics?,
but the poll question is: Do we need politics on MURC?

Someone answering "no" might be saying "no" to "Too Much Politics?," which would almost the complete opposite of answering "no" to "Do we need politics on MURC?"

I said the third thing so it doesn't really matter for me, but for those voting yes or no without asking for clarification, which question did you answer?

[KvHagedorn]

There are several forums where you can talk about politics

One of those is called the Temp forum, which is there pretty much so people who don't like politics can stay away from it.

It depends on my mood, but I generally frown when I see a political post.
