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.

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

Took me five seconds.

Link.

You used the search didn't you - ie not by browsing the politicians board.

Of course. What is so wrong with that? Fact is I found it in five seconds.......NOT using the useless search function here.

I searched. The answer is ~ easy, five seconds.

That was the context. You still have not explained why these changes had to be made, particularly given there is a clear majority who do not like it. Do you care about Member input?

I asked. Link. You will be able to see who voted and which way they voted. Neither I nor mere Members can. You will also be able to see whether socks have contaminated the vote.

Two. And, from what my screen tells me, no-one has voted here, in this Thread. Maybe that is because I have not voted in this Thread, and the vote does not appear. (Edit.....I'll now vote....and see what I can see.)

I started the other Thread because a great deal of active Members have been banned from accessing Feedback.

(See the OP of this Thread.)

One can do but what one can do, freediver, and come to conclusions based only on what one sees. You can see who has voted which way, and then the overall outcome will be known to you. Some people may have voted in each Poll. I don't know, but you will.

How about you have a look then? Mr Hicks does, and it seems, with great ease. You will know what your Members actually want if you do that. You will also be able to see whether socks have contaminated any Poll, or whether any "block" vote from anywhere is in effect.
