Guess I don’t know what a political post is.
SITE RULES NOTICE
REMINDER: NO POLITICAL REFERENCES ARE ALLOWED. DO NOT DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TOWARD ANOTHER USER. VIOLATION OF THE SITE RULES COULD LEAD TO INFRACTIONS ISSUED ON YOUR ACCOUNT AND PERMANENT BANS. Seems to me there are several “political” posts on today’s first page.

I don't envy the moderators who have to keep our discussions "legal" according to the rules of this forum. It must be a very difficult job and I applaud them for their hard work.

Perhaps there should be a "Politics" section that the mods can move discussions to when they turn political.

We had a political forum which was closed then brought back then closed again. The mods couldn’t keep up with the vitriol.

IMHO, TOTV should have a political forum. Enter at your own risk and let the vitriol fly. Why not? Moderators need not bother to monitor. You do not have to enter if you don't want to.

Also, I disagree because we are humans. We are curious creatures. We are the species that will slow down when we're driving past a horrendous 5-car pileup on the highway, just to see if we can see anyone dead on the ground. Not because we actually care - but because we have that morbid curiosity. Other species don't do that. As a species with morbid curiosity, it's inevitable that some of us will wander into a political forum just to see what it looks like in there. Sadly - you can't UNread a post. There are new forum members all the time, and some of them might think "hey - Seniors, how bad can it possibly be? We're all adults here." They would be horribly wrong. But they wouldn't know that until they saw for themselves. And then - it would be too late. |

Moderation is a volunteer duty...we are not on duty 24/7. So, posts that violate site rules may be visible for many hours til we can get in and clean them up.
We established the Current Events and News subforum to allow members to discuss important topics of today, as long as the discussion can remain civil, non political, and non partisan. We also provided the ability for any member to hide this section if they prefer not to see it. Unmoderated political forum has been tried and stopped several times. It devolves into absolute ugliness that reflects poorly on TOTV and eventually spills over into the regular forums. I hope this answers your questions. Thread closed. Moderator
