Shutdown this thread?

Yeah shutdown. Have to admit, I'm getting sick of the political bickering on here. This is a footy forum, stick to that.
During the season it's not as busy. Off season it gets more traction.
The issue you may have if you close down the RACE, RELIGION & POLITICS area, posts that go there now will end up appearing across all the other areas. People won't stop commenting and posting on this stuff just because the sub-forum has gone.

Yes it does but historically, it’s hilarious looking at Nobets’ player evaluation skills again.
If they’re creating too much work for you then shut them down. It’s only the same old tired voices (who all think they’re the smartest person in the room) complaining about the same old topics…every day. There’s plenty of other non footy social media options they can post their incredibly objective and insightful opinions on.
Thanks for your incredibly objective and insightful comments.
I have learned a lot on it and also learned a lot about humans on it but if those who control the site want to take it off by all means do so. I would however suggest that if that is done then political statements on footy threads should be stamped down on when they occur
I would add that one of the reasons I post on it is that I can’t deal with the toxicity of places like Twitter which is far worse than anything I have seen on here
Same. It's extremely educational and like all things, you just need to work out which voices to listen to.
Nobody has to open it and if posters upset you put them on ignore.
If it represents too much work for the administrators or a legal threat that's a different story.
I'm not really fussed either way but as others have said I'd hate to see these views creep into other parts of the forum.
It very clearly states enter at your own risk & the ignore function is an option. Nobody is forcing anyone to be there.
For those reasons I'd probably keep it despite it's flaws.

I was wondering if shutting it down would be viewed as cancel culture? Anyway moving on I guess..
Voted to keep it open.
I just ignore the old racists and nazis
Same as i do in pubs
I find these board a really valuable resource to get up to speed on the nuance of big issues i dont understand.
E.g i dont really understand what zionism is and a quick read of trusted smart posters take, and i feel up to speed.
Id go so far as to say PRE RRP thread is a trusted, primary news source for me.
Plus i agree with other posted that shutting
It down will likely spill it onto footy boards
At the moment, it ring fences the looneys to a
Large degree.
As an aside, i'd put money that its libertarian free speech'ers that would prefer it shut down.
LNP, champions of free speech, have enough frequent defamation points to fly to the moon and back 20 times
Having said all that, id be ok with the admin's decision. Id understand if they didnt want thw grief.
