No one seems to be on fire to have one here. The emotion is coming from posters who don't want one. I don't see the big deal here either way. If it goes up and you don't like it, don't participate. If it doesn't go up and you want one, there is another option.

Exactly. I know we all have our opinions and some people are passionate about them. That's fine, of course, but having a political forum is likely to bring an energy that will seep into other areas. Someone (you?) mentioned that there seemed to be more trolls lurking around when there was a political area. And I think you/that person was right.

Another person, I think it was TheDriver, had an astute insight that it could be used to vet people. This assumes that people wouldn't obfuscate themselves when expressing ugly ideas. Or that people who otherwise appear nice are actually hateful shitbags.

The only politics I'm interested in talking about here is the ones that directly relate to us professionals and our clients, and kink in general. That's fine for the Lobby, I think.

A strong vote here against a Politics forum. Politics is what partially destroyed Max Fisch, in my opinion. Who wants to read the viewpoint of largely anonymous people, people whose background, class, work history, etc., are unknown on political events, especially when politics are all over the internet? Political discussion just brings in the toxic, troll-y behavior that would make this a place that at least someone like me doesn't want to visit.

Domina.ms is seriously considering adding a Current Events Forum. It will be closely monitored. Politics will not be the main focus! This forum will be a place to discuss current events that are of interest to members. There will be no offensive behavior allowed, and no trolls.

I'm confused because I thought we just discussed our concerns with this and voted on it.

How would this forum be different?

Although the no votes far outweighed the yes votes. I have been contacted by several members who would like the opportunity to discuss current events.

I'm on several forums dedicated to various hobby's like cars, boating, skiing etc. While most if not all have removed their political forums they all have an "Off Topic Forum". Post topics range all over and include things like wine, food, travel, home renos, good deals found online, exercise, fashion, movies/TV, music etc.

A Current Events forum would end up being a Political forum.

The "News & Politics" forum on maxfisch.com was originally named "Personal Issues". It was for discussing femdom subjects not related to professional femdom (The Lobby).

That was the case with the first Political forum Domina.Ms had. It didn't stop the nonsense.

I really do not see anyone moderating a political forum fairly.

So their votes count more than all of the people here who posted "No" votes for a Political/Current Events forum?
