 The forum does not need so much politics but it has to be discussed. I've not seen any rules where there should be a number of political discussions within this forum and I don't think it's too much because some of these topics are posted in the politics and society section and if it was dropped in the Bitcoin discussion section, it's because there was something related to Bitcoin in it.
 I believe this place is trying for diversity and not restricting it to one particular subject that's why it's about the best social space there is.
About the elections and many threads being created on it, and some even going as far as opening sig campaigns for it, I just feel it's temporary and it will all fade once the elections are over.

These things have nothing to do with cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin. The fact that someone said a word or two about it (exclusively for personal benefit) does not mean that everyone should be obsessed with it.

I've actually read through the opened source campaign threads as complained about, and I've thought about what the signature and wearing of avatar implies and what're we promoting about the Campaign? Are the electoral campaign bodies of these 2 US presidential contestant candidates aware about this campaign as well? Or at what courtesy precisely to have a political discussion to be discussed in a service board.
The campaign actually is not related to Crypto currencies in any way or needed such a high degree of knowledge to consider it run within a limited forum membership ranks such as the Hero and Members ranks.
However, it'd be more interesting if it was a political discussion thread. So if the Op can have a review on those threads and give it some amendments, it'd be of some good terms.

I think things are fine as they are. Elections in the USA affect everyone and what makes them different from previous ones is that we have had Kennedy, who obviously is not going to win, and Trump, at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville. That's huge, and it's normal to talk on the forum about it. I even believe that it is little talked about. There is an attempt to convince Kamala that this is not a partisan issue and a Bitcoin reserve is created in the USA whoever wins. That's huge and something we could only dream of years ago.

[OPEN] Kamala 2024 (unofficial) Signature Campaign
[OPEN] Trump 2024 (unofficial) Signature Campaign
(Both campaigns should be moved to offtopic or politics & society, they certainly have no place in the services section where services are offered with payment in Bitcoin.)

I get the impression that you say that because you don't like the political line taken by the person who created them. I bet if it was one campaign to support Kamala and the other to ridicule Trump you wouldn't have said anything.

Apart from that, according to what you say, all others that do not pay in Bitcoin should also be removed, like Bitlist or Bitcoincleanup.

First thing I will say is the forum is very large to enough to actually accommodate everything and everyone as long as the forum rules aren’t broken, someone can even go ahead and make it a payment campaign No problem

I will say this, this is one thing that have actually this period have make me wonder why should this even be hype this much, I will say this is exactly where Trump want the cryptocurrency space to be, people have started getting behind him due to his juicy promises about the crypto space in the US should he win and this is definitely going to make People takes his side. One thing is no politician or government wants a thing that they can control that’s my advice for both sides

It seems to me that not a single day passes without a new discussion about Trump, even about his son's statements. I understand that someone is obsessed with politics, and with Trump, among other things, but does it have to be to this extent?
Ok, the elections are in the US, but certainly, this is not primarily a forum only for US people or maybe I'm wrong, I even think that they are in the minority here.

One user has opened two voluntary signature campaigns, one for Trump and one for Kamala. I would say that this is the lowest point of this forum.
If it is a joke, it is very bad and someone without a sense of humour should not engage in it.
