It is a pain when you’ve posted in one and it’s shipped off to a forum you don’t have access to.

Or one that you object to in principle.

Raging that I seem to have a 'Politics Cafe' postcount.

It's like being caught reading one of those 'Politics (or whatever) For Dummies' books.

No offence, dude, but moving overly political threads to somewhere else is probably good for business. Most of the single issue posters (Norn Iron, Palestine, Abortion) are tedious oddballs who with their multi quoting and other techniques suck all the life out of the place. Let them argue with the others all they want in some obscure forum, and give us normal folk a chance to enjoy the place.

For those of us that have been around a while, we know it's been the same since forever
"Everything should go in AH, it's a general forum"
"AH has too many topic that belongs in other forums"
"AH is too left wing"
"AH is too right wing"
"The site is losing posters because my interests aren't being looked after"

On a board in its prime that's fair enough. This isn't though.

Boards.ie have to stop forcing people to click into threads they don't want to and to read them.

It's inhumane!

Mod- We do it out of pure spite. We also lock threads for that very reason.:D
