Should we have a War and Politics Sub-Forum?
 

I am not trying to disguise my bias. I think that we should not have it, but perhaps I am in the minority. Please vote in this poll to voice to the new administration either our approval or disapproval of the new section of the United Lounge.

(Your vote will be confidential)

Also, I will not be voting in this poll, to avoid skewing the result.

I do NOT support abortions.

I think that the war and politics sub forum is just going to cause problems. The reason that I like UB and kept coming back was solely because of the people on here. I have found them all to be knowledgeable and courteous. The sub forum is only going to provoke arguments and insulting/hurtful comments. I agree one hundred percent with everyone who says that it should not be here. If it is to spark new threads, comments, and members there has to be a better way. The type of people that a politics area is going to attract will destroy UB. The changes have already started to push some of the more respected members away and I think that they will continue to do so. If the new mods and admin truly wanted everyone to have a voice they would have started a poll identical to this one AND NOT closed the thread attached to the poll so people could PUBLICLY "have a voice". I have never been this outspoken on any forum and most likely won't be again. I will stay around for a little while to see if the members of UB are actually listened to and if we are I will stay. I will not be posting any comments after this one and will NEVER post a comment within the war and politics sub forum. I urge others to do the same as I feel it may be the only that we will be listened to. I am sure I will get a reply from one of the new mods or admin basically blowing me off and thanking me for my opinions :lol3. It was nice talking to all of you since I became a member and happy driving to you all. :wave Good Bye

edit:I just have to add this... Even if the sub forum was created for people who enjoy clean political debate that is not going to stop it from having people who are going to say things like ummm.... idk maybe "who's better - a palestinian or a jew
the answer here is pretty obvious no?" and from a moderator! I also must say that if the new mods and admin are equal members to everyone else shouldn't someone who was one of the first members and has over a thousand posts opinion be a little more relevant then a brand new member who has moderator or administrator status who has less then 50 posts?

wheres harry, does he approve of this?

my answer is fuck no lol, seriously.

I think it's a good thing because stuff on here doesn't have to drag to other forums, it's just a place to talk about topics outside of the car world and also I think it would bring in some traffic.... just my 2cents

Started off as a good idea, quickly ruined by the first few threads (ironically posted by a moderator). That's it.

my opinion, Amanda. You got it right.

^^+1

and it was dealt with accordingly on both ends, mods and members, its now time to move on.
if you like it feel free to participate if you dont, dont.

we have had more traffic, posts and threads in two days then we've had for the last month.

^^^ We have. I don't know what you're doing, but it seems to be working.

:rotfl :rotfl
most of the time i dont know either...

well.... :dunno it works, lol
