[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8025621, member: 2525"] We're getting a lot of threads which are about the politics of gaming, or political issues and how they come in contact with gaming and/or gaming products and companies. There is nothing wrong with these threads (at least in my view) but I do think they're starting to become their own "thing". They're not really "D&D" threads, and they're not really "Pathfinder" threads, they're more "Politics & Gaming" threads. The theme of the thread, however it starts out, pretty rapidly veers into a discussion of the political aspects of that gaming topic rather than the game discussion itself. So I'd propose either there be a new sub-forum which would include those threads, or in the alternative a meta-tag that would label them as politics and gaming (or whatever term people think is best - "politics and gaming" doesn't seem precise enough but my imagination is failing me on a better name) so that when someone clicks on "5e" they don't get "5e as it relates expressly to political issues" but instead get "5e rules" or "5e upcoming products" or other more direct 5e game-related topics, as opposed to how the game comes in contact with political topics. Is this something the admins would consider? What do others think, or is there a better way to do this that I have not thought of, or is this a silly idea that is trying to solve for an issue that does not exist? [/QUOTE]
