Besides, it's a wrestling site. If you want to discuss politics I'm sure there are plenty of Political forums out there. I never liked that. This is an off-topic forum. An entire board for things that aren't wrestling. I can see both sides of that, but I agree with the rule. There's no way a political discussion would go well on these boards, good intentions or not.

An entire board for things that aren't wrestling. That's a valid point, but I still stand by the main reasoning DiG listed, in short, it's really not worth the potential trouble to allow politics/religion, et al. Just a case of the negatives outweighing the positives more than anything else really.

And that's not to say you can't discuss it via PM. If you have someone you know likes to talk about it, have a conversation via PM. Cornfed and I talk about religion a lot like that.
I personally think it's for the best that way. Even the best of friends and family get mad when it comes to those subjects.

Lol @ Lation Meat. I don't find it naughty (but I'm not a mod), though some people may find it offensive for some reason.

Not unless we had your password or something, no. Which is why we don't really police PMs.

Trying to think outside the box here. Can we discuss moments where we have broken the law, used drugs, or drank, so long as every sentence begins with "I deeply regret this, but..."? I would imagine that by using those magic words, you're no longer promoting illegal activity. This is from pages back.

We see a ton of flames in conversations about PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, so how can you expect conversations about truly polarizing topics such as religion and politics to go well?

Just reading through this thread a little bit and saw all the politics related questions and why we don't discuss that stuff. Well, what if, on election day, we had an Exit Poll thread? Just a place where people can simply post how they voted?
Also, thank you very much for the custom title...
