Do you really think banning it is necessary? My plan was just to never make it an official board. If people want to use the "untitled boards" for it then I wasn't going to stop them.

I've been around long enough to know that if you don't ban politics, people will eventually start using your site as a soap box.

I'm basing this off of my experience with lulz.net (yes, I'm a furfag, sorry about that)

It was originally just 4chan for furries, but as imageboards started turning in to refugee camps for stormfags that were b& from other sites, lulz quickly devolved into yet another neo-nazi circle jerk.

It's anecdotal, but pretty true. They infect every subject and board, making things politicized even when they aren't.

However, banning politics before we've seen anything develop is a bit too hurried. Just see how the general feel of the site develops before banning subjects willy-nilly.

The problem is that everything is always already politicized. Anything that doesn't seem political is actually part of the unexamined background assumptions of your ideology.
