REMINDER FROM MODERATOR - Political Posts/Threads NOT Permitted on CC

[MaineLonghorn]

From the Terms of Service:

<<Politics, religion, and similar controversial topics should be discussed only as directly applicable to college matters. College Confidential is not a debating society. Hence, "Would a Catholic be comfortable at BYU?" or "What is the political environment at Grinnell?" are fine. "Democrats (or Republicans) are evil!" and other opinions unrelated to the college process are not allowed.>>

I've had to delete a couple of political threads today, so I thought the reminder would be helpful. It doesn't matter if the discourse is civil - there is just a blanket policy against political topics, and who people would vote for falls in that category.

quick question, is there any place or forum on CC where talk about politics is allowed?

[MaineLonghorn]

No. There used to be a politics forum in the Parents Cafe, before my time, but apparently almost every thread ended up in contention, so the forum was closed. It was taking up too much of the moderators' time and energy. It was felt that there are plenty of other places on the internet where politics can be debated!
