Since the vote was to keep the Current Affairs category : I want to once again clarify what its for

It is intended for factual news stories and factual comments only for the sake of informing people.

It will not be used as a platform for opinions on policies and the like. Political opinion is a divisive subject and we don’t need to get into that here.

So, for example, if there was a news article posted about the president imposing new tariffs. An appropriate comment might be that it has been said that he is imposing a tariff on chinese steel. Or the amount of the tariff.

A comment that would not be allowed is that “Trump is an orange goober that is destroying the country with his policies”

Another example of not allowed is that “Trump is saving the country from the Democrats who bend to China’s will”

Whether pro or con, these are examples of opinions that we don’t need to help inform people.

If you want to discuss political opinions there are plenty of places for that. We don’t need the political divisions that divide people on a support forum.

This category is for information only.

Factual articles, factual comments.

This category is still experimental. We had nothing like it on the old forum, and it still can be removed if it does not work out.

So please stick to these guidelines so we can keep it around.
