Default World News and Politics on this website

Let's keep all the useless World News topics and Politics off this MB. I don't care to read the news twice and I don't care to see these cluttered up threads loaded with argumentative posts.

This is a Home Inspection message board, not FOX news.

Some people can't find another captive audience.

If only there were a way to click a button and have certain threads NOT show up when you select 'new posts'. Something like an 'ignore thread' option.

Exactly. It's the same individuals all the time. They post world news Bullshi+ that bores the hell out of me and it clutters up the "NEW POST" option. I'm tired of seeing these nonsense useless threads all over the MB.

What part of:

"Misc. Discussion Discuss whatever you wish in this forum."

are you having a difficult time understanding?

"whatever you wish", means whatever you wish.

At this posting, there are 9 new thread posts, 5 are "Not for everyone" and are political, 2 are Misc. discussion of which one is political. That leaves two for Home Inspection related discussions. That is the norm anymore. I suggest if there can be a option for members to ignore certain threads or sections, please install it so one does not even have to look at them. The ignore button option for individuals apparently does not work very well either.

I guess I'm just weird but if I scan a topic that doesn't interest me, I don't read it.

So?

That suggestion has been made many times (twice in the past by me.) We don't have the option to ignore a thread.

It is what it is.

I believe that an ignore thread option could be done, although I am certainly no expert.
As far as being what it is, we also use to have a way to leave anonymous comments, which was abused. It ain't anymore!

John, I usually don't read them either and skip over those. Its the ones that are about HI related items that gets infected when some on the board want to slide their snide political crap into the conversations and the thread goes off topic and into the hopper.

Long before some of you mental giants started populating this board most of us had assumed that a HI message boards was just that (a forum concerning Home Inspection related items) when that logic had obviously passed some people by we created a section available to members only called "not for everyone" as a depository for such drivel as you want to post that is outside the realm of Home inspectors.

It appears that that logic has passed many by
