The Political Asylum board

I propose that the Political Asylum board be reopened to provide a place for all the political posts creeping into all the other boards.

I’m more than half serious.

Why not just visit this still open board:

It would be interesting to know officially where the best place was to make suggestions about reopening closed boards. I’m not clear that anyone appropriate is actually monitoring this board.

I agree. We might be “spitting into the wind”, as it were.

Interesting, thanks. I didn’t realize that board existed, and as laKitKat recently posted there, I too am wondering how that clearly non-financial board slipped through the cracks and remains open. From the posters I see there, I don’t recognize many who were frequent posters on the Political Asylum board.

But for the time being, I’ve added “Political Fools” to my favorite boards!

Geez, guys/gals/he/she/its. It’s a board… it’s open.

We all know anyone that would post there is insane, soooo, the word Asylum isn’t needed.
I’ll get the ball rolling by posting a “Let’s Go Brandon” thread. :^)

Humans will do what humans do.

How often do you see signs being completely ignored?
How often do you see garbage left in front of a “No Dumping” sign?
How often do you see people just let a post taking a political view which they oppose go without
comment - or without a full scale attack?

However, I do admire your optimism.

An old man is riding the NY subway while smoking a cigarette. A fellow passenger calls him out saying, “You are not supposed to smoke on the subway! Don’t you see that ‘No smoking’ sign?” The old man answers, “Why are you not drinking Coca Cola? Don’t you see that ‘Drink Coca Cola’ sign?”

This board is still being monitored but do not expect any closed board to be reopened.

Who notes as for political posts on other boards, they will be removed when reported on boards where such posts are off-topic, such as the Premium Community discussion boards, when they are disruptive to the normal flow of conversation, or in violation of the Terms of Service…
