The off topic forum is almost unbearable to visit.
Any chance of adding a "Politics" forum?
The Bee(s) Hiveeven calling it the Politics forum would be a deception. Just call it Rants and Raves. Nobody there is making an effort to convince the other side of anything; mostly, they just repeat their own sides' talking points at each other.
It's awful, very Syracuse.com esque.i really think it should go away
Put the entire forum on "ignore" and your problem is solved.It's awful, very Syracuse.com esque.i really think it should go away
Exactly. If the title of a thread even remotely suggests anything you might not want to read, don't click on it. If it turns out that the thread discusses something you didn't expect and don't care to read, close it.if you've visited the off topic forum and don't agree with the threads/posts then why even open it up? I don't get the desire to close it or name it something else. What threads do you want to post that don't already have a forum to do so? And if you don't care for the politics threads created there you're not forced to open them. I don't know, maybe if there was a separate politics thread some of the folks complaining wouldn't ever open it or post anything :noidea:

Its awful.
Does private forum = payside??I have offered many times to create a separate, private forum, with a mod chosen by those interested.
There has never been any takers.
