User Poll on Politics An idea has been presented, and I'd like to hear what people here think before making any changes. I'm personally indifferent, so feel free to tell me either how stupid this idea is, or how much you like it, as the case may be.
The suggestion was to make a board similar to /townhall/ from ponyville.us, specifically for discussions of a serious nature.
We already have /void/ for political shitposts, and we're phasing politics out of /chat/, so this would be the place for political discussions or any other serious discussions. /disc/ or something equivalent.
There's no specific reason why this board would need to be anonymous-only, but #Anonymous could be enabled thread by thread just as it is on the site right now. (This should be a toggle option on all posts, and is one of the things I've got on my list and will be working on soonish, among many other bug fixes and usability updates.)
Since we already have /void/ for the shitposts, I think we can be a lot stricter with the moderation than they are over on ponyville, just for comparison. The sorts of jabs that are common over on /townhall/, especially from those who share the majority view with the staff there, would ideally not be allowed. As it is, this sort of thing is already allowed on /void/ and is perfectly suited for /void/, so there's just no reason to have it at all on a serious discussion board.
I'm not sure if people would want such a place here.
The major counterpoint is that it hasn't worked well on ponyville so there's no reason to expect it to work better here.
If we were to have such a place, I think our moderation style may be better suited for it.
A second major counterpoint to having such a board is that it already exists on ponyville, so there's no reason for another one here. If this is your position, I would ask you to consider a hypothetical where no similar boards existed anywhere else. Would that change your answer?
Do you think this would be a good addition to the site, or detract from it?
If added, how would you like to see it moderated?
Any other feedback or concerns?
And again, I'm completely indifferent on the concept as a whole. I have ideas on how I would like to see it run if added which I've already alluded to, but otherwise this is all up for debate. Please leave your feedback.

Concerns >Users must be at least 13 years old to use the site.
So with some of the boards allowing porn, (even through spoilers) and the way that people generally conduct theirselves; shouldn't this be an 18+ spot for people to talk on at minimum?
Just saying, you're really adding and inviting a shit show by making the supposed age limit so low.

Suggestions Box /Oat/ should be made into a board dedicated to image dumps and links with less discussion focus. Sort of like a combination between a request board, /gif/ and /wsg/ on 4chan.
Discussion is allowed, but the primary focus is image sharing.
