Hi guys,
After much discussion, we've decided that given the current political climate, we would rather keep Dakka a haven to discuss our fun hobbies, and do away with religious and political debates on the site altogether.
Our reasoning is that, like a
FLGS, we've got a bunch of diverse folks here who share a common passion, and just like in that setting, you wouldn't enter a heated debate about religion or politics - you'd have fun playing with toy soldiers!
So, that's the environment we'd like to try to implement here. You're still free to talk about "Off Topic" things, of course, as this section is titled. But we've updated the forum description, and the rules sticky, to indicate that political and religious debate are no longer allowed. Please see the spoilered section of the first post of the
OT rules sticky for more info:

Thanks for understanding, and for helping us out with this change!
