I hate how political this forum has become. It used to be a place for escapism and discussion with open minded people. It’s not the same anymore.

As this here forum's debating right-winger, I believe that I am in a unique position to offer advice on how to reduce the number of political content:
1.) FIM is dead. We need pony content that can keep the forumgoers busy. It's not only the number of political topics that has gone up. The number of pony content has gone down. Do you have a pony topic in mind or a suggestion on how the staffers can increase interactivity, then out with it.
2.) Not responding to political activism does nothing. Most are convinced they serve a higher purpose, so they'll just keep on blogging. Debate. Let the activists know their wares won't sell. The subversion of fandoms did not happen cause fans started doing activism; it happened cause fans did not bother to stop it.

There is a time and a place for politics, and I think these forums are no such place. I would like to see the discussion of politics and anything political be banned from these forums in all forms, whether that be political status updates, political blog posts, or political threads. Politics brings about nothing but division and anger, which has no such place on these forums.

@King of Canterlot I agree 100%. There are thousands of places to talk about politics; there are few places to talk about ponies. Let's keep it friendly.
