Why take away a subforum from other users simply because you do not like the discussion? It is easy for people to avoid politics by staying out of the politics section if they do not want to hear about it. If you don't want to read about role play, you don't go to the role play forums that is no reason to take it away from those who enjoy it. The same applies to R&P. R&P on this site is remarkably tame compared to some of the other gaming sites. As far as I can remember, numerous early gaming sites all made R&P sections ages ago to keep Politics and Jesus in the Basement. It is common for gaming and politics to mix frequently due to RTS community and so many of us nerds in gaming do enjoy discussing real world events, as you can only discuss what game mechanics are superior only so many times before it gets old.American Tanker said:That too.Armadox said:Kill R&P.

Re-open WW, nuke R&P from orbit, add a new "no targeted harassment" rule to WW.
R&P cannot possibly disappear before the Brexit is complete and the Russia investigation ends! Discussing things civilly is what they expect of everyone anyhow regardless of topic. Besides, I have seen "Anime is cartoons!" and "Nintendo is the best!" Threads become much more vile than R&P anyhow. R&P is fairly mild compared to many of the actual gaming discussions.
