    NEW! tPF Discussion Room

    We would like to create a new experimental area for serious discussion called tPF Discussion Room. By serious discussion we mean making meaningful contributions to the topic at hand free of flamebait trolling, off-topic distractions and personal attacks

    We welcome all tPF members who are interested in participating.

    Initially, VIPs and Mods will be members of the tPF Discussion Group. Group members can ask a mod to set up a private room where members can discuss and vote anonymously on adding new members--a 75% vote within a week decides. So PM a group member if you'd like to join. Removal from the group will be similar, a group member will request a mod set it up without the one up for removal.

    The tPF Discussion Group will be self-moderated, with moderators only stepping in when needed.


    If you have questions, please ask here.


    The new room can be found here: http://thepoliticalforums.com/forums...scussion-Forum

    This is an improvement. It will keep the whining off the main forum.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    the purpose is to keep the whining on the main forum. The new area is for serious discussion.

    Oh, then it won't be beneficial. My mistake.

    This could wind up leaving the quality posters who aren't necessarily popular to deal with the idiocy. Not sure how I feel about that.

    You can be invoited or you can PM anyone who posts there--for now any VIP or Mod. We'd like to do it by PM. Then the group votes.

    What's probably, maybe likely to happen is that members will correlate with VIP's. So if someone isn't selected as a VIP then they're not likely to be selected as a serious discussion group member except in cases of close voting where mods may be able to swing the vote.

    That's the math that I figure.
