IMPORTANT POLL: Should there be an off-topic section?

<< < (38/46) > >>

pcprogrammer:
And can we now stop this please and get back on what this thread is about.

Do we want a new section to post non electronics related topics in or not.

I wonder if a change of the original post with the latest view on it being for other hobbies only, and still no politics, religion and guns weaponry, can help in making a more founded decision.

Edit: Changed guns to weaponry.

I'd change "guns" to "weaponry", otherwise you'd likely get some smartass posting about crossbows, combat knives or somesuch and saying "it's not a gun, so I can post about it".

I think this would also need a new poll (and hence a new thread?). Can't change the poll question while keeping the old answer counts which referred to a different question. I doubt that all voters will be checking back regularly and amending their vote to answer the updated question.

Yeah, I agree. A poll where Dave suggests the Off-Topic Project section a show and tell for things like car/home renovation. Where no politics, religion and weaponry is allowed.

EDIT: I do actually think the "What did you buy today? Post your latest purchase!" thread is a good example for the Off-Topic Project section.

Yes you got a point there. But some did change their vote though, going on what is posted a little back. And Dave did change it already by adding "(Assuming the hot-button topic rules REMAIN)"

Still the number of voters is very low for such a big community. Hard to believe only less then 1% being more active on the forum, and care about this.
