Agree the political trolling went wild, altho so did interjecting religious beliefs regardless of relevance to the topic. However the most egregious misconception was letting members getting away with
-The right to post their opinion in any thread regardless of the original subject matter.
Watching threads completely devolve into back-biting off topic nonsense runs off more members an gives a very negative appearance to new people just checking a site out.
It was always interesting to ponder what would happen if Mods could just remove sections of threads that completely went off the rails an stick them into their own thread in a section called "Derailed". One thread for each chunk moved with a thread header referencing it's point of origin.
It's transparent, to a degree identifies improper behavior without points or banning, lets those opinions remain so not censorship, basically a nicer "wall of shame". Posters could continue their thoughts in THAT section while everyone else could continue focusing on the original topic subject matter.
In a perfect world, right? LOLOLOL!!!!
