Chris Leckness

While I believe that a good community should be able to talk about anything (within reason), many have complained that too many of the "new posts" are coming up with religion and politics threads.

I am not discouraging this conversations as long as they remain civil. I did take steps to clean the board up for new visitors and those that do not care to see those posts. I have removed water fountain, religion and politics, and sports categories from the "view new posts" listings. Those that enjoy these conversations know where to find them.... I have also made the post count in religion and politics and sports not count towards post counts. I left the regular water fountain to count though.

I hope this can make everyone happy and let Aximsite continue to be a great community and resource for all types...

Fascist! (Just kidding )

I think it is a very good solution to the problem.

Thanks for finding a good compromise.

Great way to handle it I believe. I am a newbie and it sounds like you have a great handle on things.

That was quick - I'm impressed! I think you've handled the situation quite gracefully. It's refreshing to see a discussion board that has an off-topic area that is not constrained by arbitrary limits.

Great idea in not displaying those "extraneous" topics and posts. This had been annoying me for a while now, but I didn't think anything could be done about it. Thanks!
