Good day.
I don't remember where I expressed my attitude towards everyone's favorite topic about politics, or whether I expressed it at all, but I'll repeat myself - in my opinion, if we start moderating this topic too harshly, its inhabitants will still express their political stance, only they'll start doing it in other parts of the forum and in different terms, so let them concentrate their efforts on one topic. I don't mind, my nerves can withstand this topic, and there are very few random people in the off-topic section, unlike in the "Heroic" sections; mostly old-timers who are used to everything hang out there. Besides, I'm not sure there exists a moderator in the world capable of objectively punishing all participants in the topic, both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian minded, and otherwise, arguments about the objectivity of moderating the topic will be added to the political arguments, and in the end it will turn out even worse.
With the aforementioned individuals, we will try to talk nicely; if they don't understand, we'll have to resort to a harsher approach.
I just noticed the message. You are the moderator of this section and it's up to you to decide whether this topic is needed there or not. If you think the level of discussion in it is going overboard and nothing but a flame war is coming out of it - feel free to close it.
Generally, I see 2 ways out of the current situation:
1. Ban discussion of politics at the level of HeroesWorld rules (I think it's not a problem at all)
2. Create a separate political section without censorship and leave it to be torn apart by "political scientists" and armchair analysts.
