As much as the next person, I hate reading about both politics and people arguing their points to death ears, but I fear censorship too.
Is there a possibility to create a hot topic censorship free thread "Thunderdome" of RV.net. When threads go to off the rails (politics, 1/2 ton vs dually pulling, and Ford vs. Ram,) the moderators could warn the offenders once and if it continues, boom the moderators can move the thread to the "Thunderdome section." The two sparing idiots can keep the thread going forever is they want. This will clear up the rest of the threads for us and no censorship.

One of the best things on this forum is the "Hide" button. You can basically ignore threads, or even whole forums, that you find offensive or uninteresting. I use it extensively. It's much easier to implement here than other forums. I've also discovered at some point during my years of forum attendance that I can ignore a particular post by simply not reading it when I discover I don't care for it.
I think one of the reasons social media like Facebook is so popular is the fact there is little to no censorship, or moderation. People are free to say what they want, and of course the mostly banal content proves this.
