How about a politics only forum.

VaughnA · 10-15-2009, 05:38 PM

I'm a member of a couple of bike groups and they've separated the general talk forums and politics forums. To me it's nice to keep them separate so that those of us looking for some nice non-photo conversation don't have to weed through political arm-wrestling matches. I get enough of that on TV..

Just my 2 cents..

If we were to add such a forum, it would be unmoderated, and I don't quite want to go there yet.

The assumption is, we are civilized enough to disagree on political matters to be able to agree in photography talk.

We went through this discussion in another thread recently...

from Peter Zack's post #143.

Adam and Peter have both got some feedback from us regarding this and have taken it on board...

Gotta find some people who can talk politics first.

Thanks Ash, best hand back the thread now.

While I've been known to post a few comments in something political, I kinda wish this was a photography only forum. Perhaps if it could go somewhere seperate that didn't get published in the Quick Links / Today's posts section it might help contain it. (if that's possible)

ps...I was wondering where you went Gary....nice to see you're back.

Peter Zack · 10-15-2009, 08:24 PM

That's the idea I've suggested to Adam afer the discussions in the other thread. There are some site upgrades coming and that will take a while to finish before we can make that change. We'll revisit the issue once that's completed.

Politics should be banned.
