Trump threads

[Anonymous]

Nearly half of the threads on the main page of the political forum are about Trump. It is becoming excessive. New threads popping up hourly. Many can be rolled into one thread. Can we have a limit here?

Also Jeff, can you take a look at the latest Rubio/Trump foam party thread?

Woukd you let that thread stand if it were a thread with the sole purpose of discussing Hillary being a lesbian or the Clintons having an open or sham marriage?

I would hope that in this day and age a thread like that about someone's alleged gay past in a slanderous way would have no place here on dcum. Haven't we moved beyond that kind of attitude?

I'm pretty sure that the entire point of that post is to criticize Trump for his homophobia. I'm sure the OP views Trump's attack on Rubio in the same way that you do.

Yeah, I'll see what I can do. This is not only Trump threads, but the entire Politics forum is out of control.

If you condense it into one, then the thread will jump around all over the place. I think it would be hard to follow.

I can't combine threads in any case. Our software doesn't have that feature.

It is much better. Thank you.

Jeff do you mutter to yourself as you read those threads?

I kind of like the multiple Trump threads. I've never been so active on the Politics forum.

Yes, but I mutter to myself about a lot of other threads as well.
