Political debates
Since the ban on political issues, I find that I miss some of the discusions. Truth is that a vast majority of them ofered a lot of good arguments and resoning. Anyway, it is what it is.
My question is: do any of you participate in any political oriented forums? Someting along the lines as we had here from time to time. If so could you pass on the link, web address etc.

There was a ban on political discussion?
When was that?
I remember talking about it, but there is an actual ban?
And NO, there are no good political sites anywhere...
There's a few big ones, but I've never seen a well moderated one. Since the moderators are so lax on all of them, it usually goes like this:

The only good way to make a good political discussion forum is to really moderate it; you need to act more like an actual debate moderator and be merciless with people who try to change the topic, troll and who are just totally ignorant, or who post the same exact thing over and over and over again. On this site the mere threat of moderation works wonders, but most political sites attract racists, biggots, trolls, and mindless party panderers and the moderators don't give a darn about the total lack of original thought.

Thats what I liked about debating here , you knew that there would be mostly good ideas passed around the ****** on .
The best conversations I seen , were in forms that were unrelated to politics ,
a realy good one the other day on Bench Rest Central [ a form about bench rest shooting ].

The comments violated the site rules and thus, were removed.

So, now the comment was deleted and the thread gets moved?

Well, the thread relates to site questions, so it was moved to the appropriate place for SITE QUESTIONS. Take a look at the forum name. I can't tell you about the rest because I have nothing to do with it, but geez, give me a break.

Anybody else confused yet, or only me?
