OK no religion. Politics from around the world can be quite interesting though, as long as people are willing and open enough to other peoples point of view.
The ubi O/T forum was quite interesting when politics was allowed, although the Americans had to be reminded sometimes that theirs was not necessarily the most important. Of course having American mods didn't help.  Now its banned,the place is dead.

The issue as I recall with politics was the people from different countries did not understand other countrys' politics. The level of tolerance became testy at best. It would probably work, if people from different countries respected and didn't discuss politics with people from other countries. We all know how media slants news reports from other countries. The PIIGS thing has been problem all over the web... Portugal, Italy,Ireland,Greece and Spain from the EU. People from other countries should probably stay out of those discussions (Canada, Iceland, Russia, Turkey,etc.)

It might be worth a try, if it was limited to discussion of each members own country's politics with people from their own country.
Those discussions could get pretty heated, but at least the poster isn't getting flak from an outsider that really doesn't understand the politics or situations.

The UBI off-topic board is dead because of the ban on politics. There has been a ban on political discussion on all UBI boards for sometime. The IL2 forum was an exception because it's posts outnumbered every other UBI forum by something like ten to one. It was banned not because different nationalities argued with each other but because of the fall-out between US members after the US presidential election.

just apply the same rules as listed in the posting rules - vulgar language, vulgar images, religion, politics, etc, etc and flick the bug threads (or at least merge them with another similar in the appropriate sub board), whines, product put downs and personal attacks.
"there is one subject, which should never be discussed at a dinner party if people should wish to remain friends... and that is religion and politics." friendly political discussion, doesn't exist, even among like-minded people... political discussion invariably becomes toxic
