Dont let deleting System32 distract you from another win by Ottawa.
Ok now I'm really curious as to what brought about this change in policy.
I've been dipping my toe in the Poli board for years, strange to see it suddenly go AWOL.
It is clearly explained in the link..... but if you want simple breakdowns:
- It was causing more pain than offering a place to discuss politics.
- It's too toxic where people cannot have a stable conversation with understanding two sides of the conversation.
- It created wedges between posters that leaked out into the other boards, to where they would just simply attack one another's posts.
- It was taking up time of moderators because the board can be liable once the threats/attacks start.
There is no major situation or special "wow" moment. It's just what you see every day. The board is a hockey board. That's our passion. People cannot discuss politics with respect to one another, thus it is gone. The "traffic" it creates is not worth it.
Fair enough, I was just assuming something nefarious had happened over the weekend to spark this decision.
The Poli board was always toxic, IMO, so I guess this move was a long time coming.
