    I vote for allowing it only during leap years, when there's no 'r' in the month.

    I vote that you create a separate forum section for political comment. I also vote that anybody who posts more in that section than any other, over a year say, has their account permanently deleted and their IP blocked.

    I suspect you may be a bit alone with that Mark.

    We will leave it up to you to monitor all subsequent posts and analyse the figures. The Mods have enough to do as it is.

    I think we have an average of about 2 political threads a year so it's going to take a while to compile the stats on who to ban.

    I vote for the same approach with 'three words daily'.

    Everybody will get what nobody wants. That's proper democracy.
