I feel like allowing them on the forum is a bad idea. Many people come here to escape from real life problems, not to see them on the forum daily. We can ignore political threads but there could have been better ones on their place and it's not quite the same as not seeing them at all.

yup,I agree with you

[Lune]

Tbh they should reinforce the no politics rule before

the forum admins changed the 'no politics threads' rule. as you can see, it was a pretty bad idea.

hopefully they'll revert that, and just auto ban politics as it should be.

there is absolutely nothing gained by discussing such things on a platform for gaming. I have no idea why anyone on a game chatroom/forum, etc wants to get into politic debate.

there are political discussion boards, and other places where they can go and argue with their fellow flame war enthusiasts.

they would be better served to join their country's political process, or run for a leadership position.

there is no purpose served by discussing here. no meaningful change, its just a waste of time.

The one nice part about political discussion topics is that it’s an opportunity for people to reveal their true selves.

We’re no longer beating around the bush and trying to play the politeness game, like we did the in the past. Instead we’re finally getting people to come out of their shells and show us who they really are. And as it turns out: a whole lot of them were very ugly and nasty people, on the inside.

That’s a good thing, in my book.

I absolutely agree,and not everyone lives in the said country (the US ) so not everyone cares about it or needs to know what's going on over there

Valve is also iron fist on anything concern or getting too close to words who may suggest something that isn't approved by the government of US.

I’m not into politics. I just want an excuse to roast somebody. Oh yeah… I would also switch sides to roast the other guy.

These roast are rated E for everyone.

What he's trying to say is that he'll get banned if he clearly says what he's really trying to say.

Hope that helps.

Certain people with political leanings sympathetic with the Left just can't leave it alone...

Both in the US and out... they're obsessed with "trying to change the world"

And not for the better...

Like the left was the only problem. roflmao

He really does think it is.
