    I'm pretty much non-aligned to the political parties, I also don't mind taking the 'devil's advocate' position. I regard this forum/membership as being generally rounded, interesting and sometimes extremely knowledgeable on a huge range of subjects. If it was just a bunfight of opinions about Saturday's result I probably wouldn't bother.

    Fair view.

    The example you use to illustrate your point though is a poor one - there isn’t a thread on the tv shows section for over two years and we’ve discussed many a tv show on the main forum in that time. If things aren’t on the main section they don’t get viewed or used.

    I understand what you’re saying, though without agreeing - for me it’s great as it is - but others have the right to differ. I’m sure the admins will take a decision based on what they deem serves us best. Though as mentioned, we’ve taken a democratic view on this before and chose to leave as it is.

    To be honest mate I didn't click in the TV shows to check lol, but it's like anything new or changes etc takes a little getting used to but I'm sure the traffic for a political section would be busy once posters adapted.
    You never know it might even attract new posters.

    Very hard to gauge whether the poster was joking when they post once a flood!

    I do think a lot of pointless stuff gets asked on here nowadays but while I’m here where do folks get their car tyres from?

    The art of fair debating is sadly becoming a thing of the past
    Whilst I'm not implying you fall into the following bracket, but in my opinion, there's far
    too many, that react to personal attacks on others, whos views aren't or dont aligne themselves to their's
    Sadly it's a sign of the times, whereby those who are aggressive and shout the loudest seem to get their own way, or like to think they do. We see it far too often with some resorting to violence, to silence others ( As Americans have just witnessed with the murder of Charlie Kirk)
    My advice if you don't like Whitey s political stance or others point of views the political threads on here or anywhere for that matter aren't for you sadly.
    Without open debate we stagnate and allow dictatorship to come in through the back door
    Just like Trump and Farage advocate in my opinion

    I'd leave it as it is. Its usually fairly obvious from the thread title what subject is being discussed... if it's not to your taste then don't engage with the thread. It's like when someone posts and others reply saying 'absolutely zero interest' or 'pointless thread', why bother replying then? Just stick to those you are interested in.

    How about we (i mean all of us), Tag content that is Barnsley FC related? People who arent interested in off topic subjects could filter on barnsley fc posts. Everyone else carries on as usual?

    I have a couple of ideas that this would help also

    Most date back before 2020...none within the last 2 years....at least 1 person will think I'm an ignorant sod for not replying though.
