By Popular Demand: Politics in ATW

[Ella]

By popular demand, we have agreed to a trial run of bringing politics back to Around the World. The ATW forum is for logged-in members only as of today.

Do not bring this discussion into other parts of the forum and keep religious and racial comments out of discussion. Be respectful and help us moderate if you would like this rule to remain in place.

They were removed previously because members were unable to keep it civil. Keep it civil and note the rules below if you would like it to remain

1. No nasty comments. Namecalling, negative generalizations about a political party, or general mean posts will have a zero-tolerance policy. First violation, a forum time out for one month. Second infraction, six months, and third one year.

2. Moderator has full authority to determine what violates this policy. Intent and context will play a role, as will history on PS following our policies.

3. If you think a post is questionable, please report it so we see it as soon as possible.

Questions? Please ask us. Don't make me

I started the ball rolling by posting a questionnaire.
It takes 5 minutes and plots your politics on a graph, Left vs. Right, and Authoritarian vs. Libertarian.
I think it would be fun to see where everyone falls.

BTW, I was unaware of that forum; here is where to find the forum, Around the World.

Why is it limited to ATW?
There are almost no eyeballs there compared to Hangout.

Ella, can you please change it to permission in Hangout?
Thanks.

Nope sorry Kenny. ATW or nada at this point.

It is also worth noting that ATW has always been where political discussions were allowed to my understanding.

That's OK b/c if any members don't wanna read any political topics they just don't browse ATW.

Yes, there were. I loved the threads on debate nights. They moved so fast....

Me too. They were hard to keep up with, but fun to read.

Thanks, Ella!

Like all the other people who were here in 2008 and before I know that Around the World used to be a very busy forum indeed and that it was not second to Hangout in any way. I am delighted with the decision to allow us to try to discuss politics civilly and I hope that we will be up to the task! I mean I really, really, really hope that we will be up to the task because I have been hoping for a return to political discussion for a very long time.

Thank you for giving us the chance! (I also thanked you, Ella and Andrey, in another thread.)

I feel like I just flew back home. I'm so happy and cozy. I hope that we get to keep it in the spirit in which this is being reignited. No saboteurs... :::finger wagging::::

Have fun! I personally would rather get run over by a train than talk about politics on the internet but I hope it works out.

Ella, when I click on the drop down menu to ATW I get "the forum you are looking for does not exist". What am I doing wrong?

I didn't initially realize Ella was referring to a brand new stickie at the top of the Hangout index page, so here it is for anyone else wondering:

Thanks for the heads up, Molly. It was very useful!
