I thought this was a forum about electronics. For other other topics, there are already plenty of other forums available.

I suppose the simplest thing then would be to just not read the general chat section of the forum. I rather enjoy this section, and there are a lot of fascinating topics here in my opinion. They also tend, by and large, to be electronics (or at least technology) related, but perhaps things that are not an exact fit to any of the other sub forums. It seems easy enough to not read what doesn't interest you. And, as I think about it, almost all of the forums I belong to have a similar, more 'social' (for lack of a better term) section for members of the forum so simply chat about things or news that may not be directly forum related, but that may be of interest to people of similar persuasion.

Quite, I don't see all the complaining about "stuff i don't want to see". the forum is for everyone, just because you have no interest in that subject does not mean it should not be there.

Majority of people use the "Show Unread Posts" option, which shows all new posts from every section.
There is also an Ignore Boards option:

You need to remove the u=3 (EEVblog user ID) from that link for it to work on your own account

I'd nominate the Brexit thread for locking. I followed it for a while to see if anyone was going to post anything of interest and relevant for this forum, e.g. specific research or high-tech industries under threat due to Brexit. Although some interesting points have been made it has zero electronics content and close to zero technology content, and clearly breeches rule 5.
