I addressed one of them in an edit. I haven't looked at all the recent activity this morning.
In the other closed thread, you used the word "them" implying of course, those that are well known to have an opposite political and social view as your own.
Before we can post a new thread, the software reminds us if we didn't choose a topic, and won't allow the new thread to be posted. There's no good reason not to choose the applicable topic.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 11-09-2020).]

No prob. Yeah true, I allude to an issue above in this thread how nearly everything is political.
Also if a thread has politics and religion in it, we only have one censorship tag to hit it with.

In an election year especially, everything is on the table politically, but whether we choose to make a political statement in an opening post is up to us.
The 2nd (and any other) amendment can only be changed thru political means. When a topic is mostly about preserving an amendment, (preventing someone from changing or dissolving it,) the new thread is inherently political in nature from the start.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 11-09-2020).]

Don't forget too, as we have seen recently in France (and the USA) certain...um...demographics...don't just whine and cry if they get offended, they run around chopping peoples heads off and burning down everything in sight.
Not sure of the legal ramifications for being an enabler/ catalyst (forum owner) in Holland, but you all know what slime-ball leftist lawyers do with that here. The rioters and choppers are the poor innocent victims of hate speech and those exercising constitutional rights and freedoms are monsters.

I have gotten in the habit of marking a thread 'politics' if there is even the slightest chance of controversy, regardless of the subject matter. I have even marked a few music threads as politics, simply because they state an opinion.
Even that practice is apparently controversial. One of our resident troublemakers tried to start a fight with me for that very reason.

The only way I know of is to click the 'edit' button on the original post. However, if the thread is locked, that doesn't work.
Here is a question of curiosity regarding locked threads: I have noticed that there are two different "locked" icons, one with a red and white striped folder and another with a yellow one. Does anyone know the difference?

One way to find out if a thread is marked political is to disable (uncheck) viewing of political in OT's index.
If the thread disappears from the index, then you can be assured it was marked political.
What OT looks like normally, with all topics enabled:
What OT looks like with politics unchecked (disabled) :

Lol, in the 20 years I've been on here, I literally have no idea how to check or uncheck thread types... but I've never really cared personally. I just looked now, and don't see anything... but either way, it doesn't bother me.
