Posts typically disappear from the front page of the politicians suck board in 12 hours. I wet back through 20 pages on that board. That only took me back to June 5 this year, and that is after removing a heap of posts.

Any topics about state politics will just get lost in that. Same with the European and American stuff.

One option I am considering is moving politicians suck into the regional category and calling it federal politics.

Why not just leave it where it is and call it Federal Politics....After all this is Oz Politics Forum and Federal Politics is what the site is about IMO???

Huh

It seems to belong better in the regional category. But I'll consider this option too.

I would question the need for the groups in "Regional Politics". It makes it more time consuming to find posts that may interest you (most people would be interested in the political affairs of states other than their own) and it's going to give the moderators a lot more work in having to move threads around the forum due to them having been posted in the wrong section.

Agreed, and that task will now fall on the shoulders of freediver as it was general perceptions_now who moved Threads around.

I see no-one (including freediver) has yet explained the need for any change.

Would you mind demonstrating for us how easy it is to find a thread about state politics in the politicians suck board?

That would be racist, Aussie. A Paki board wouldn't be racist - Pakis aren't a race.

No they just shag 11 year old girls and have their community refuse to help the police prosecute them...

Having initially voted I didn't like it, I have now sort off changed my mind. It does serve to keep posts on the page a bit more and for the extra effort in switching between fora is easier to read and comment. Is it worth the effort though to have to constantly move posts for PolSux into state based forums?
Should the POLSUX forum be disbanded and force posters to use the state based ones?

Godday Freediver,

Why dont you change the "Newest 20 Board Topics" to say 50 or 100.

I usually go there first every time I come online to see whats been happening, I often then us view list of 50 to see more if I havent been online for a long period (eg overnight).

I seldom go searching through the boards unless trying to find a particular topic or am bored sh1tless.

Just a thought!
