Am I asking too much? I get that most other social media platforms don't offer such a feature, but the political threads are taking over like a plague and many times make up at least 2 of the 5 "Trending Discussions."

Or will this continue to be left to the individual members? Maybe there needs to be some sort of subdomain for politics.

Hopefully we'll survive the politics until November when the election will be decided. Then we can return to normalcy, slamming whomever has won.

Sounds about right - similar to what SFC Everett Oliver said.

There is going to be an election? With choices?

SGT (Join to see) I agree that there should be a way to ignore certain topics. While I do not "feed the trolls" on topics that I do not care for, I sometimes miss the ones that I do care about because they are buried under the ones I don't. The ability to customize one's news feed would be nice. I wonder, from a coding stand point, how hard it would be to implement.

What is forcing you to read the topics? If you don't like what is being discussed, move on to a thread that interests you.

Read this again, SFC: "many times make up at least 2 of the 5 "Trending Discussions."

That has nothing to do with me clicking a link to read the thread. However, it has everything to do with such topics cluttering my timeline and homepage where I could be gaining exposure to new topics I've yet to explore on RP.

I guess that is a fair point. I use my tablet to browse and it's too easy to quickly thumb through the site to see the topics that are current.
