If we do get the board for "politics" then no DHing for politics. Bad behavior on the other hand…..

We tried splitting the Napoleonic discussion boards for a while; it didn't work.

The Ultramodern Board is pretty much clickbait for dawghousing. Splitting it into a bad behavior board and a second bad behavior board doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

Double the DH time on the "no politics" board.

Martin Rapier07 Oct 2015 6:09 a.m. PST

I'm not sure how it would help, you'll still get politics on both boards.

Having a specific politics board might be more useful, e.g. the old Current Affairs, but of course in principle that went off to The Blue Fez.

If such a magical place existed, I'd be only ever so slightly more likely to visit. The only time I ever see the UMB is when I occasionally check in to see what the Dawghoused are in for.

It's a wonderful lightning rod. No point in fantasizing about it being any other way.

True. One board was for learned discussion and the other was for idiots arguing with each other. The problem was….. grin

I have a reply that I'll PM to some of you, but I'm not keen on returning to Da House right now…

But Guys think about how much fun it would be !!!!

This could work only IF the non-political UM board can only be specifically on gaming topics (i.e. about rules or miniatures). It can't even be a vague discussion that someone can loosely apply to gaming and call it "gaming related." In other words, it can't be abused.

This means that Armand's current affairs posts will all go on the political UM board. Of course, this will probably just mean that people will ignore the UM board devoted specifically to gaming since very few actually game the period.

See how fun it will be !!!!

15mm and 28mm Fanatik07 Oct 2015 4:14 p.m. PST

That's why I voted in the "affirmative." But as I said, it's probably unnecessary since very few posts will be on the non-political gaming-related UM board anyway.

kyoteblue07 Oct 2015 4:37 p.m. PST

It would be truth in advertising.

Mithmee07 Oct 2015 5:14 p.m. PST

We only need 9 more yes votes !!!!

Weasel09 Oct 2015 2:45 p.m. PST

UM /is/ the politics board.
Gaming specific discussions go on the regular Modern board.

They just need to be named correctly, is all.

kyoteblue09 Oct 2015 3:27 p.m. PST

That would work as well Weasel.

Tango0110 Oct 2015 11:44 a.m. PST

I vote yes my good friend!. (smile)

Amicalement

Thank you Tango01 !!!

I have UM switched off as it clutters up my phone.
If I need specific information on anything modern a quick search finds them for me. Job done

Tango0111 Oct 2015 3:18 p.m. PST

Well … we surpass the 50 votes now… (smile)
