And a classics board to read all of the old threads, as well as one we will pay five dollars a year for to watch people upvote their own posts?
How bout at least Military/History board?

I'd like to have a serious political talk board or a political junk board because right now we have both in one place and it gets cluttered with a lot of shitposting.

like you do anything but shitpost and troll. The poli board is a lot of shitposting because people are fed up.

what do you think would happen if we had a non democrat poli board and a Democrat poli board?

They would get trolled by the other side most likely which is why I'm against separating the forum by party or ideology.
During my suspension from the Poliboard I've been talking politics on other forums and seeing how they deal with shitposting/trolling. One forum has instituted new rules where they have [Serious] threads and regular threads. Here are their rules:
I'm not saying TD should do this but posters should be allowed to both joke about the political environment if they wish or have a serious discussion. There should be room for both, especially on a sports talk based message board.
I think a two Poliboard TD might be a solution. Admins could move the lighthearted (looking at you CptBengal, jjdoc) threads to the Poliboard Light Board and keep the Serious discussion threads on the regular Poliboard.
Just spitballing some ideas out there since the Poliboard is probably the fastest moving, most posted board on TD right now.
Thoughts?

There will now be two types of threads here, serious and regular.
If you want a serious discussion on a topic, start the thread title with serious.
The moderators and I will ban posters who shite post on a serious thread. What is shite posting? It's hard to define but I know it when I see it. Examples include:
Trolling
Quoting with a one word response - If all you are going to do is quote someone without adding to the discussion - don't bother, it's a waste of space, bandwidth and everyones time. Add something to the discussion.
Name calling/ad hominem attacks
But [candidate on other team] did that too!
bringing up shite unrelated to thread
gif/image responses
shitty threads with serious tags

So, you'll be posting in the PT shite board, right?
