I have often wondered why we can't have a free chat/misc. forum as most other major forums do. I think it would be nice because I enjoy the company on this board more than any other forum on the net.. That way, the coin forum could be about coins, the BST about commerce, and Misc about whatever..including politics

We had one, but the majority of sissies couldn't cope with it, so they got rid of it.
I for one am happy they have zero tolerance for threads, now if they would force the issue with political sig lines I'd be even happier. Most of them are just knee-jerk reactions or taken out of historical context. NGC did the same thing years ago when they banned political threads.

commoncents123,
PCGS had an "Open Forum" here until a few misused it and ruined it for everyone. It was a shame, the O.F. was fun to visit if you wanted to talk with members on subjects other then coins.
Now that Roger will be on the Citizen's Committee, we will have better representation for our hobby. That's as close as I am going to get to touching this one, John.
It's a coin board, plenty of other boards in the wonderful world of the internet where one can discuss anything and everything. Try it, just not on this board

I emailed the moderator and suggested that signature line containing political or religious opinions be banned, but she said they were just focusing on content.

Why stop at just these? Lets scrub all the signature lines so we don't OFFEND ANYONE!!!!!!
Thank God the moderator still believes in freedom of expression...
P.S....As not to offend you please do not read my signature line...
I like this forum but, but it is not free speech around here. Lots of non polictical thread are poofed in a hurry. Name calling is uncalled for but the poofed threads generally have some good content that vanishes.
A lot of users on this site are fast to report others, that i do not understand. Sig lines??? come on, get a life.

<< <i>I come here to get away from politics and politicians. Thanks PCGS. >>
Agreed. It's so hard to get away from politics in an election year, and I love having a refuge away from it. I can sling it as well as anyone, but there are times when I get sick of political overload and just want to get away from it for a while.
Those who don't like it can talk politics almost anywhere else.
<< <i>What this place needs is a good Open Forum. >>
I'll second that.
Both my racing forums and bicycle forum have political sections. It's only natural people have more interest than one, and it's nice to talk with people you're used to BSin' with.

Just look at what such political discourse has done to me.

while having many fine attributes, became excessive
in name calling, insults, threats and the defaming
of character. No amount of warnings seemed to have been
able to restore good manners and goodwill among
the members. It is a shame, but that is human nature for you.
