I also understand
Infinitron 's intention to try to index the forum for its content, for its role-playing games, rather than being a dumping ground for people who come here without even knowing that we are talking about RPGs, just to make their senseless speeches.
I understand this, but it’s a completely useless attempt because outside of this forum, EVERYONE knows that you can come here and only deal with shouting absurd, senseless slogans and pushing Goebbels-style propaganda. EVERYONE knows this. I've known RPGCodex for years, even though I’ve only been a member for a year, and everywhere it has always been said, repeated, and rehashed that this forum is just "a den of alt-right who want to exterminate Jews and blacks. Then, from time to time, someone also knows a lot about RPGs."
And this is due to the forum's extremely permissive politics. So, while I appreciate that the KCD2 thread was split because it was becoming unreadable, the fact remains that even the other half "legible" is still honey for any primatist, wannabe-Goebbels, and so on.
Then, just to be clear, it’s not that I’m naïve and don’t realize that the Forum IS this: a den of alt-right, even among the staff, some more, some less, some maybe. But splitting the forum isn’t going to attract new users interested in talking about RPGs.
I did it, I joined the forum because I knew I had the patience to filter massively and only take the 1% of those messages that are truly useful and from "RPG enthusiasts" compared to the 99% from Nazis who talk politics. But a thousand other users don’t do it and wouldn’t do it.
People come here knowing they can do "propaganda," not talk about games. And it’s your rules that allow this, not the logistics of thread arrangement.
