Will this forum remain Politics-free?

[FlyingClayDisk]

The politics were the beginning of the end, with ATSNN and the Mudpit starting the oversaturation of politics over conspiracy topics on ATS. Here, politics within a conspiracy discussion is fine, but this isn't a political forum and it never will be.

I didn't moderate on ATS, but I know they went through hell moderating these last few years, and they weren't paid a dime. Instead, mocked by the new ownership as if they were dumb for their dedication regardless. I wouldn't call them lazy by any means. If they were, they wouldn't be here and they wouldn't still be moderating ATS. They'd say fuck it and leave it all to die.

I absolutely was NOT suggesting the moderators of ATS, particularly those who moderated all subjects politic, were lazy by any means!  Quite the contrary.  I thought they did a spectacular job overall.  And, their efforts were greatly appreciated by myself and others!  That was not the intent of my statement at all!  I am acutely aware of how difficult their job was.

What I am saying is that refusing to allow political discussion is lazy.  Different statement.  Different forum.  Same theme.
