Utter Cad.
Have you had any feedback from anyone else about the issue? Any board members, say?
Don't see a problem here.. the rules say no politics. Simple.
As Bruce has explained previously, this is a trial. If it doesn't work we will look at it again.

So why would it be allowed but not to all. Thats discriminative action.
It was discussed by the mod team, yes.
Had to laugh at this when I saw your avatar.

Perhaps its worth feeding back again with the comments raised in this thread.
You seem hell bent on pushing this idea through.

Blues,
Moderators try and make this place the best online platform for Evertonians - great to see the passion behind feedback here but it's worth keeping that in mind before sniping and being overly miserable.
Politics. Many on here will know we've had more u-turns on how we handle politics than any other issue in our 10 years managing this place because it's a difficult one.
Anything 'religion, racial or political' tend to cause angst and aggro. In my opinion, it causes good blues to needlessly fall out. Our standard for the last few years has been;
q) Contributions must not be... religious, racial or political. There are other forums on the Internet suited for exactly this type of discussion, and ask that you please conduct such discussions on those forums.
In short, swerve the moody stuff. Some really good blues have been banned over the years, on a football forum - because of politics. Mods have been asked to be lenient with this and let it go until it gets a bit silly.
There's been a big increase in political threads in the ale house and so, we've revisited this.
An idea put forward was 'Politics. But lets stick it elsewhere with a disclaimer to prevent the titty lips'
The elsewhere bit - it seemed logical to put it in the upgraded forum, though based on comments in this thread, it could be an idea to create another forum for current affairs...

That is his inkling I'm sure. He too is allowed an opinion on how he thinks it will pan out.
But we will see how it goes and change if needed.

So you are saying that you wanna supress conservative voice with this action

I think this sounds like a good idea.

Under the proposals what would be the approach to a thread on today's Times report on a misfired Trident missile. Would that be considered political as of itself despite the quite obvious point that any discussion would contain political opinion yet is a defence/military topic. Would I have to pay a fee to discuss that?

Yes, I'm usually keen to experiment rather than assume the answer is known before hand. We've got nearly 10 years of evidence of what things have been like up until now.
