Ribble Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 With 4 political threads on the front page of the Shed plus a thread about a bridge that's now descended into a debate about EU deficits, is it time we had a sub-forum for political debate*? *I get the irony that this thread is yet another about politics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit fed up of threads being totally derailed by political debate, queenferry crossing one is a perfect example with a thread about a bridge turning into yet another independence debate.

Lovecraft Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 7 minutes ago, Zlatanable said: We can, if the confirmatory referendum for requesting a sub-forum for requesting sub-forum topics succeeds in causing a binding referendum as to wether we can get a sub-forum for requesting sub-forum topics. How about a vote on it? Each person needs to put forward their own vision of how this sub-forum should be created? We can then create polls? I start by putting forward a motion that says you must have been living here on the forum for at least 5 years. Addendum 1.1 The term "On the forum" refers to specifically posting in the forum known as The Shed. Lurking on The Terrace is not be considered as time added to the required minimum for voter rights.

Sharpie Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We had a sub forum, here in the past my old memory is fading but it ended up being a fiasco. One of the lead fiascoers was a soon to be young lawyer, it went beyond the internet when another JKBer chased him on Gorgie Road. I went to another Hearts forum and was surpried and sad at some of the names there, but I am sure the wee lawyer is a leading poster there which would put me off, although there are some good former JKBers there. I recently looked at the birthday list, there are actually some now members who were less than five years old when I started on JKB. It has changed as has the content and posters in the past years, more than twenty for me. I find I look at captions and don't bother reading them, I am an ardent political posts contributor, I would post on another sub forum but why have one do what I do just don't read them. I also have to state that I have never put anyone on ignore, I just ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
