I think any would be VERY short lived and the Admin has already stated that, if you do, you get 1 warning, then, your account is banned permanently.


There are plenty of non-villages political forums that people can use to vent their spleens on each other.

Yep that'll stimulate our minds or should I say simulate?

This is like when I was a kid and I came home from grade school to find out we were moving that day and I could not say goodbye to all my friends.
Maybe I will meet you all again when we grow up and are in the same highschool!

Thanks bogieshooter. That is the link
TOTV Political Forums

Not intending to be a wiseguy with the following, but does anyone have an idea as to what exactly constitutes a "political post"?

I intend to abide by Admin directive; a clearer definition or description of "political post" would be a beneficial guide to all of us.

I went in the Political site daily and posted almost everyday, but that said, considering the tone, lack of civility and down right insults thrown back and fourth, I FEEL ADMIN DID THE RIGHT THING, and would be fine if it never comes back.

Thats all I got to say about that.

It's a private forum. The admins set the rules. Lots of other places to discuss political issues.

The Admins obviously feel that a cooling-off period is needed. They used the wording "suspended" rather than "permanently closed". I'm hopeful the Political Forum will be reactivated.

The previous Owners of TOTV designed the Political Forum so that you must JOIN it to read threads or participate. I honestly don't understand why people who don't enjoy it would keep going there, or why anyone would want it closed ... why not just Opt Out?

I don't know the admin nor have I communicated with him/her, but my guess is that the moderation of that forum was taking a lot of time and attention. The number of deleted posts was fairly large, and out of proportion to the rest of the board. It is the admin's prerogative to offer, or not offer, a political forum. I participated in it but it is no great loss to me personally.

Just a guess, but maybe the "ambience" of the Political Forum was starting to negatively influence the rest of the forums. One way to find out is to suspend the Political Forum.
