Does this mean any political postings are no longer allowed in the other off-topic sections? I am a bit curious as to the reasoning behind this change.

| An Index Thread for the Culture & Current Events section… |
|---|
These are just some of the threads that have appeared in the Culture & Current Events section (was ‘Off Topic’) since 2003 - and so a fair few quality threads (and some ‘lesser quality’ threads) 😉 may have fallen through the cracks for inclusion in here…
The Index Categories…
| 1️⃣ • News & Current Events |
|---|
| 2️⃣ • Sport |
|---|
| 3️⃣ • Historic Events (mainly from before 2003 / the OT•com existed) |
|---|
| 4️⃣ • Science, The World, & Beyond… |
|---|
| 5️⃣ • Theory, Philosophy and General Ponderings |
|---|
| 6️⃣ • Religion |
|---|
| 7️⃣ • Annual Events / Calendar / Diary |
|---|
^ There is no longer any political discussion allowed on the site as of late 2018… as repeated requests and then a series of warnings from the admin & moderators to certain members in a bid to try & keep discussions civil on here… went unheeded & even escalated.
If there is a thread in the ‘Culture & Current Events’ section that you’d like to suggest to be added to this Index then please post it below - and which Index Category you think it’s best suited for.
Please also let us know if you see any errors, broken links - or have any other suggestions etc, below too - thanks.
