Many newfoman may not remember this (nothing against you, you just weren't here then), but there existed a time when what you could post on this site was much more restrictive. Even with b.new, it's not nearly as strict as b.old.
Two things you never saw much of then were topics discussing religion and topics discussing politics. Come b.next in late 2012-early 2013, that veil was lifted and now they make up half of the Offtopic forum.
So, point being, should Topics discussing both religion and politics be bannable again?[spoiler]Disclaimer: this isn't an atack or insult to anyone of any religious belief and or political preference.[/spoiler]
EDIT: Since the OP isn't that clear, let me clarify. The OP Is in a way, my take on the subject, but I'm asking for YOUR opinion wether for or against the idea.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 2/3/2015 4:37:25 AMThe posts that existed in those times do not exist now. The quality and quantity are different. The community is different. Shit man, the site functions and layout are different. I'm just saying, it's something to think about before you assert that we should remove "half the topics" that are posted in an offtopic section. Which, I will have to regretfully say, is the offtopic section and [i]not The Flood.[/i] I Miss The Flood. Everyone who witnessed it misses it. But what we have now, is a couple members of The Flood, and a new generation of users, and a new generation of a forum. Whether it's better or worse is up to personal discretion, although most including myself would vouch for the latter, if you're here to stay, change is something that you'll have to deal with. Hide the posts you don't like. Simple really.
