[META] WPT Poll: Add Temp Rule: No Political Posts? (slrpnk.net)

Atleast until after election time IMO.

As is pointed out on every @return2ozma post, there's other subs for that if you want to talk politics. Its clear the community is not enjoying the posts, they are heavily downvoted and spawn angry discourse every single time. Downvoting alone doesn't effectively filter the posts because of the small amount of content overall. Even heavily controversial posts are on the front page for weeks.

This is supposed to be a place to look at funny tweets not get infuriated at the US political system every time I open my feed.

Since there's no poll system implemented as far as I can tell...

1 Upvote = 1 vote to add rule against political posts

1 Downvote = 1 vote to keep the rules as they are

Lol I'd maybe give it more than 30 minutes and 10 votes before you call it, but absolutely lets see where it sits after a decent portion of the sub has had a chance to see the post

I'm not waiting for votes, I've called it. I meant that the downvotes were speaking for themselves on the posts that were political. Sorry I wasn't being clear.
