Should we ban blatant politics on OffTopic?
It's a endless debate with no focal point to relate to. It also increases the risks of flaming wars, and has shown yo often hold instinctive ad hominem attacks instead of constructive discourse.

Better yet - create an entire forum and cleanse OT of politics entirely

It's just alts. All of this would greatly reduce if Steam implemented. . . . DIGITAL ID!!!!

"Think before you post" - UK Government

That's not a joke, the uk gov actually told their citizens that. . . .
At this point politics might as well be considered trolling because the NPCs who make those threads know how tired of it the humans are but they love to really go about flogging that dead horse.
just because politics hurt your sanity, doesnt mean other would have too bro, learn tranquility by the art of not doing nothing from lao zhu, or stoicism
You also make weird threads. why would you want to censor yourself, HeavyGoat?
And how are we going to do that.
the only way regular users can ban politics in off topic is to never reply to those threads, but that will never happen.

Superior idea :steamthis:
Have you ever tried squeezing the toothpaste back into the tube?
politics used to be banned in off topic before they got rid of the "Volunteer Moderators" system around 2020's. now its just a lifeless steam award bait central where nobody actually believes what they themselves are posting
