The CA forum highlights just how skewed media coverage is, and how 'balanced' coverage just means allowing any old nutjob a platform to spout hateful and ignorant nonsense, pretty much completely unchecked.

Enough of us here to Police it and pipe the down.
Man, I for one can’t wait to see someone push white replacement conspiracies again.
But leave it at the door @GrandOldTeam

It's a shame to see a small minority allowing this optional sub forum to spoilt their experience of Grand Old Team.
I've just skimmed through posts from the past 48 hours and revoked access for a few to this forum who have clearly fallen under;
We can't moderate current affairs. We don't have the resource, knowledge or diplomacy. We're a football forum. It's hard enough moderating an Everton forum. Current affairs exists as it is - exactly as it always has, or not at all. The community overwhelmingly praised this forum here, and recently voted again for it to remain.
It relies on the community.
If it doesn't self regulate, it'll end up being binned.
To see a couple of members 'threatening' to cancel their donations/subscriptions to the forum unless we moderate to their agenda/approval. As much as donations towards the platform are appreciated, lets get one thing right - any 'threat' to cancel your donation/subscription, and to encourage others to do so has absolutely zero influence. To save those members the admin, I went ahead and cancelled/refunded.
If you find yourself getting so wound up by other opinions/posts in current affairs, use the ignore feature or better yet... just don't click into it. I very rarely do.

- If we find anyone who finds this forum a bit too much, they become high maintenance and generally not suitable for this forum, we'll revoke their access to the current affairs forum.
