Could there be a Real-World politics forum, where NS players could go to talk politics (of the real world, not NS-world) sincerely?

It'd be great if there was a forum where people could talk politics objectively, instead of some of the crap I see in the General forum. If anyone would not objectively talk politics (i.e. BUSH IS A F---ING MORON!!!!!), they would simpley be banned from that forum, rather than the game.

Bad news: General is the real world politics forum (although it also serves some other puprposes). You just have to live through the whole "Liberals r GHEY!" "Conservatives r stupid!" stuff, sometimes there are good debates.

As Naleth said, General covers that. Politics and Clubs are the two dominating General topics. It would be cool to have more sections of the forum, but that one is not necessary.

THis only gets suggested about once a month, so there isn't really a standardized answer that the mods give that I, as a mere player, can pass along, however do I seem to recall that last time it was suggested, early December, IIRC, either Salusa, or [violet] themself said no.

MODALERT.

Lock this thread, it's already been established that the General Forum is the place for real world politics. I'm not in authority to judge this fully, but I don't think this thread could go anywhere else with a point.
