Why?

[())_Crayola__)>]

i got a question. why no political posts? i think it would be interesting to know were everyone stands on politics and government issues. in my opinion i think it would be interesting to see other peoples opinions and their solutions that they think would work.

so why no talk about politics??

The "no political post rule" is there to keep the boards from turning into a flamefest. Has anything constructive ever come about from a political thread? People tend to be rather firm in their political beliefs & people have a hard time remaining objective in discussions and it always ends up degenerating into name calling and immaturity. When discussing a belief whether it be political, religious, etc participants in the discussion rarely keep to the point and attack the idea, they usually attack the person which is what we don't want on the forums.

Too sum it up this a gaming community first and foremost. Threads on politics and religion always get very heated and serve no purpose but to divide people and start flame wars. And in the end there are hard feelings and peoples opinions did not change on the subject. So For me anyway I am glad these things are not talked about. Hell take a look at the nvidia vs ati threads and you will see how strong opinions usually lead to some harsh comments. And they are talking about video card for crap sake! Just my 2.5 cents.
