Gav (and maybe Phil) - Forum improvement suggestion...... 12:45 - May 19 with 4439 viewsBloots

....we often see the comment: "if you don't like it you can switch to football only".

This almost entirely applies to people commenting on the relentless political posts on here.

Would it be possible/sensible to add "politics" as a specific section for those that enjoy that type of thing?

At the moment "General" is just too, well, general.

If someone wants to avoid the relentless political posturing and abuse it also means you have to miss all other posts relating to anything other than football.

All other sports, travel, food, Friday poo, Keno perving, Facters reminiscing, etc, etc shouldn't get lost just because of a desire to avoid politics.

Appreciate it's additional work, but over the last year the board has become pretty unusable for any poster that doesn't want to wade through political arguments.

I know I'm not the only one that thinks this.

Lots of love Blooters.

In the mean time, you can just click on the red cross at the bottom of the post to 'Hide Thread' so it wouldn't matter how many replies there are to it, if it's not your thing and you want to completely ignore it by not seeing it, rather than just ignoring it by not looking at it...

But I'd suggest that Phil and Gav wouldn't really think that was the best solution for them.

Depends on the interpretation of the word ‘politics’. A thread about Labour or the Tories is quite clearly politics but some subjects aren’t quite as clear cut - are they political or not.

But, nine times out of ten most political threads are quite noticeable due to their titles. If people don’t think they want to read about a certain subject don’t click on to it in the first place. And if someone does accidentally opens up a thread by mistake, click out of it straight away…only takes a few secs.

And no one is forced to wade through political threads anyway.
