Strongly disagree. CSPAM threads have a high propensity to just be content-less junk, with it being easy to find whole pages without a single content post. D&D is good, but has too many rules to capture a sufficiently diverse discussion and a high-enough tempo to capture current events. For several topics for which threads exist in all three places, I’ve gravitated to the GBS threads as the most topical, informative, and active threads.
The only thing that this no-politics rule would do is allow is make some admin headaches disappear for a while.

that thread kicks rear end

so the thing that kicked htis off months ago, it would be like if a bunch of americans got 6 hr probes on the 4th of july for saying "douchebag" and then they were really mad about it 3 months later for some reason? like theyre mad they couldnt just post "douchey doucher douchebag" with their friends on their special holiday? and then they somehow concern trolled about it so much that jeffrey probed (+perma'd) like a hundred posters months later?

thats some powerful (potentially cursed) posting

idk I skimmed the threads but it seems like this all kicked off on boxing day by a bunch of australian posters getting probed for saying c*nt and they getting big mad about it is this wrong? b/c that seems like a really funny thing to explode into whatever *gestures towards SAD* this is

it's as simple as the admins not being posters, so they forgot how to (not) use their buttons

qcs thread about saying oval office in gbs got nuked, giving everyone who posted in it regardless of opinion a week-long probe (not a sixer)

it was very specifically not the aussies getting probed for it, that was the whole argument. nobody had a problem with the brit or aussie threads saying it, but the GBS mods said no posting it outside of that which means jihad

and then the admins disappeared for three months absent randomly banning+30 people, never addressed any problems, and then unleashed SAD so they didn't have to listen to complaints

Joking and downplaying genocide like the holodomor or the holocaust is wrong because there are real world actors and propagandists who are spending every waking moment pushing this narrative for their own political and social ends, right here and right now. It furthers their actively malicious causes more than any genuine attempt at humor.
