Can I put in my two cents.
Can different "rules" apply to different types of posts ?
Brexit was by nature a political post. Brexit had elements of racisim in it. I can hear it on public radio in the US.
I made some sort of comment (I think I said black friday was coming) so I got to see the Brexit Unread Post everyday much to my sorrow.
What I suggest is that if there is "more crap" in a political post, give them more slack. If in an electronics related post, warn and/or ban them.
In my case, I just learned to "ignore" the Brexit posts. So what I suggest to the moderators, when a complaint comes in on a political topic, post instructions on how to ignore the post and ignore the posts by setting your ignore button.
Maybe less people will get upset if they know how to ignore the post (not easy to find out how).
So how about relax rules for non-electronic posts ? (now that I have learned how to ignore them :-DD :-DD :-DD )
ps In the past, I have enjoyed some of the heated posts. I think this forum has a higher standard of flaming posts. :-DD
thanks for your understanding
Simon:
Political topics which in theory are not allowed do get given a bit more understanding but of course that can get abused. We know that things will get a bit heated in a political discussion but providing they don't get personal which is where all this started it's not a problem.
There has in fact only been one or 2 reports for the brexit topic. But there does come a point where things get out of hand and people start to think they can say what they like and I'm afraid there are limits even in a political debate.

Thanks for your consideration and help running this forum. People need to remember that without moderators, there would be NO forum.

I really have no clue about why "General chat' is even necessary here. Let alone political discussions.
I thought this was a forum about electronics. For other other topics, there are already plenty of other forums available.

You are right about other existing forums, but in this particular case, it's interesting to see how people with a work-related education with de-facto access to the private job market think about that "Brexit" phenomen.
This is surely very different from "lifestyle" forums or a Wallstreet/Londoncity traders forum.
