I think the over abundance of political threads is hurting the offshore forum

I'm usually not one to have a problem with off topic or political threads in the offshore section but I think it's got to a point of over saturation .

I know it's a big election year and everyone is trying to figure out which one of these idiots is the 2nd worst candidate of all time vs which is the #1 worst of all time but the content in these threads is some of the worst stuff I have ever read . Maybe the low point of this entire forums history.

I appreciate the powers that be that allows freedom of speach to the level it's allowed at this place but I think we have gone just a tad bit too much to the other extreme.

Im not saying no political threads. Maybe just have 1 or 2 dedicated threads in the offshore for politics.
This would allow those 4 people that argue about the same thing everyday for the last 5 years to argue about the the same thing for the next 5 years.

Just imagine what we think about the 20+ deplorable Trump supporters in every thread, lol. This site attracts the worst of the worst.

You're right, but it'll end after Nov 8th. Except some Poly Forum trash in Sheriff Joe and Zit will will be banned from there after that date, and will try and post their Political BS up here. Hopefully the PTB will control it after Nov 8th.

I have been visiting less for that very reason.

The Admin should seriously consider flushing some of the worthless posters because its driving solid daily visitors away. Ive been coming here for around 15 years. Sad to say that my interest is fading due to a few worthless clowns that are seemingly stinking up a majority of threads here.

In all seriousness then, why do you continue to post here?. Just leave.

Nov 8th can't get here fast enough.
Then you will have about 2 weeks worth of threads about rigged elections then maybe things will return back to normal after that

Seems like it has really gutted the main board. I feel like there is very minimal discussion about college and pro football compared to past years.

I'll check to see how my man Cruise fantasy football team is doing because of the emotional investment that so many of us posters have in that but not many threads worth clicking on these days.

Why not only allow them in the political forum? I stopped STARTING political threads in the main forum but cannot stop responding to them.

The beta male gene is the problem. You can tell the 4-5 guys here who have it. They are the pasty, weak souls, who feel they have to respond to every Trump thread. The funny thing is they have went so beta they bash Trump/Pence but not one has come out of the closet as a Hillabeast supporter.

On to your point....it will last about 5 more weeks and then the threads will return about what color socks do you prefer.

as long as the discussion is reasoned and objective and the idiocy is left in the sewer, I think politics in the offshore in the month before a heated presidential election is appropriate

offshore is really a melting pot anyhow, a poorly named general discussion forum

if you want strict gambling conversations, there are gambling forums on this site where politics should be forbidden

Over saturation is what has happened. I could see one or two ongoing threads where the hardcore Trump and Hillary supporters are there battling it out.
But it's a new one everyday, where the same hardcore supporters are in there saying the exact same shit they said in the other 20 threads.

Very silly and not needed....Poly forum for that!

I will concur with one thing, keep any repetitive name calling idiocy out of here

But truthfully, I haven't seen that stuff much up here

Not to mention threads will be started that have NOTHING to do with politics and one of the hardcore supporters chime in with their political BS and it starts all over again in that thread.

I think closing the Trump will fall hard thread was is mistake. Back then most people kept their shit in that one thread. Since then the suckage has spread all over the place
