Amen to that, and the same used to apply to global warming threads(which reminds me that we haven't had one of those in a while)

I don't agree with a complete ban though, but a subforum just for them would be a good idea. GT has basically been a no-go area for me since it started filling with all the "Teh candidate sucks"-threads. Even putting the most active "contributors" on ignore doesn't help much since their threads remain visible in the list.
We have considered a "political/religous/global warming/I-have-an-agenda-and-I-cannot-stop-thinking-about-it!" sub forum but then that would have to be moderated by someone too. The key to keeping the repititous threads to a minimum is not to REPLY to them, they would sink to page 2 pretty quickly if everyone held their nose and passed on by.
