Question for the community…

Hypothetically if the powers that be were to outlaw political threads on this forum, how would it impact your TMMAC experience?

Would you be upset and feel like this place was limiting your freedom of expression? Would that cause you to post less or spend less time here?

Would you be relieved that there would be less bickering and negativity? Would not having constant political arguments improve your relationships here and make you more likely to engage?

Would you spend the sam amount of time here but maybe focus more on other topics, such as MMA or other passions of yours?

Is the ample opportunity to engage in political debates a reason you like TMMAC or a reason you avoid it?

There is so much passion in those threads but they seem to do more harm than good. Rarely does anyone convince another member to change their stance on an issue, but we regularly see members get pinked and end up hating each other.

How would the hypothetical scenario of banning political threads impact your experience here and if you were given the chance to decide their fate, what would you do about those types of threads?

It would be cool if there was a subsection dedicated to political threads alongside the off topic, geek and wrestling subsections.

It’s fun to read through them, but if I’m being honest, I can’t stand them.

Everyone(myself included) seems to be an expert in politics, even if they don’t live in the fucking country they’re arguing about(I’m talking about a certain poster who lives down under). It’s hardly ever a civil discussion.

They should make a political subforum. I suggested it many times but the powers that be just refuse to hear it.

The best part of political threads is I never partake in them, thus never get pinked in them.


Go ahead, look it up.

For those not privy, Dr dipshit tried to solve the OPs question a few years ago by making a sub forum for political threads. All the Nancie's here went bananas about it and rioted like a bunch of French refugees. It was great.


As mentioned tho I very rarely engage in politics. So I diddnt understand the fuss. In the end he had to scrap the idea and just go back to letting people shit up the main boards.

We also used to have a dump, where threads were sent when everyone started to act like baboons, but then that became the cool place to be. Nowadays they use pinking, or if your me they do the thanos trick.

I can take em or leave em.

I participate because that's generally all that's being discussed.

Too many sub-forums would result in a pretty quiet forum, imo.

that seems to be a problem on two other forums I’m on.

side note: people can just not engage in any political threads. It’s not like people are forced to click.

This this this. As some may be aware I'm not particularly on the list of model citizens here and quite often find myself getting framed and disciplined. But as I mentioned it's never in those threads as I find them tiresome so just don't partake. We all know what happens there.

I mean we could just silence the left

Or add a sub forum. We should try both

The sad thing is, people think Ron DeSantis is a good governor.

It is my duty to correct and/or mock them.

Let’s make the lefty pinkos do things because they’re sheep.

Sounds fair to me.

Who is the left? Give me a list and I will make them wear a pink star
What side of the political spectrum do I fall on? Or do folks consider me as I'm not into politics.
