The political commentary was just so mind numbingly repetitive so let's put that in it's own stupid folder so the rest of the sub forum can be about human stuff.
Justin if there's a way we can make this work, I am all ears.

The problem is, even unmoderated, the owners of public forums have some legal responsibility for what is being written in them. You can't just create a "trash" category that you leave alone, this is not 4chan. You have to at least go see from time to time what's going on.
Until now, Cockos assumed that the users of the forum were adults who could self moderate. But I suppose lately, they have decided that this was no longer the case.
I can completely understand this argument, but I agree they should communicate. Instead of leaving the sticky post about the Lounge password, they should make a sticky post explaining why the Lounge is gone. And if they don't want to be drown into an endless and fruitless debate, just close that post for comments.
