If so, can this be implemented in uhhhh a couple months?
Nothing will directly come from this, it's not a referendum. I wanted to see where the opinion was(seems fairly split so far)
I might use it for changes in the future.
What about if you ignore the votes of browns, women, and newfags whose opinions should never matter tho
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

I'm pro gatekeeping, so yes. In fact, let's verify the skin colour of anyone posting in the politics section as well. No foids, no browns, only aryans.

we are reaching the point of a war or something soon
Certain people have been saying that for years. "Hollywood is going to collapse any day now!" "Trump is going to cross the Rubicon and take out all of these bad people on the TV! TRUST THE PLAN!" and so on. There will be no sudden collapse. There will be no grandiose or exciting civil war with militias getting into big battles or The Purge style home sieges with homeowners shooting police battering down their door. There will be no "gratification" of being able to shoot people you dislike, or "mercy" of being killed quickly. We are just hitting another step on the long tumble down the stairs. You are going to be drained over the decades. Look at Europe for a taste of what is in the future for America: the wealth drained away from the native inhabitants who find themselves unable to find a prosperous career and surrounded by foreigners and a government that no longer serves the people, and the few energetic dissenters like Tommy Robinson are jailed for years on end with no one coming to break him out of jail and make him into a great hero of a rebel army. You will not enjoy the prosperity of your grandparents' age. If you become too high profile, you will be cancelled and you will lose your security and certain comforts of home. And you will have to endure that for decades.
When the pain of inaction exceeds the pain of action, only then will people finally act.

Basically when people are facing certain death is when your going to see tangible change ,but by the time that happens it’s far to late. Better to enjoy what little time you have on earth with your family/friends, hobbies and enjoy the decline (depending on view point this could black pilling or liberating)

There's no point. As Val said, the truly dangerous ones will grit their teeth and meet the requirements anyways. The ones who would be filtered by a policy like this are also filtered just fine by standard cultural gatekeeping.

The only solution is Rusty and the mods nuking people that shouldn't be here, but he won't do it. It is what it is.

The people who you want filtered out are already accustomed to the daily dose of bullying from gay men and rapist turks thanks to multiculturalism. Need to try some new tactics.

No, but anyone who's more active in the politics section than the gaming ones should wear the yellow badge of shame mandatorily.

Placing more restrictions beyond the existing requirement of registering a forum account may dissuade people who would otherwise have had something interesting to say. Also, I'm concerned that a high post count requirement for access to the political forum would encourge pointless spamming.

Perhaps I'm missing something. Has there been an influx of posters to the political section of the forum that needed to be banned? Image

No one who shows up on an RPG forum just to use the politics section has anything interesting to say.
