  I am totally behind and understand the move to create blue, organized locations for things like politics, but, and this is just a suggestion that I want input on, I would love a sub-category system of some kind.

  These would be QBN created blue "threads", or rather locations for user created threads, each created as a repository for subjects that might be considered polarizing, or of being of little interest to the general population or majoritive intent of this site.

  Personally, I think the discussion of politics is inherently related to being a communicator, a relation to how ideology's are presented and rhetorical communication within society is a big part of what we all create, but at the same time I fully understand the push to organize or focus that sort of dialogue on a site like this so it's tricky.

  Again, just raising the point as an idea, and not really a personal position, it just came to mind and I was wondering what you guys think.

  Let's not overcomplicate things. I think the politics thread is a good way to keep the rest of the site design focused during a very highly watched election. I don't think there are any other topics that are in danger of swamp;ing the site in that way.

  Like I said, just an idea, not an intent.

  There did used to be an occasional blue thread for things. And sometimes QBN would turn your name blue, if they liked you enough.

  Please QBN-suppress your thoughts. Is that what you are implying?

  • Nope, totally open to opinions on this, not sure it's a good or bad idea to be honest...– NONEIS

  Lots of forums have categories under which related threads reside. Organizationally i think it would work. But categorizing would inhibit the way people go in and out of the many flavors of threads here. That could be a benefit, depending on your perspective, but i think it'd diminish the diversity of viewpoints
