    I saw this on another site which has forums: Dive bar -- Use this forum to discuss politics, religion, or anything else you think may be disturbing to other members' sensitivity. If you want to participate, ask for entry from adminstrators. :-D

      A better option would be a "Shouting into the void" box that lets you type in your rant, press "submit", and then the message is thrown away never to be seen again. :-D

        Good luck to them. The original idea was to be a pressure release but all it seemed to do was encourage people to be actively nasty at one another. It went from Rant About the World to a Troll Pit. It was truly disappointing.

        cheers Chris Maunder

          I think just put "soapbox" back, but make it a link to an external social platform.

                  There was a private soapbox group used by people who were unhappy with prior attempts to moderate the public one; but apparently Chris pulled the plug on it at the same time as the main soapbox.

                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
