I get why they delete the threads - but it doesn't really matter - no one changes their minds - we all preach to our respective choir.
I have been on some television show discussions and they all turn political real fast. Doctor Who did an episode about Rosa Parks (you kn ow a real person from history and not "fake News" so the right wingers start ranting that is SJW - well yes sometimes you need to fight for social justice - and the show is about a time traveling alien saving the planet from monsters - racists are monsters. The Dalek represents the Nazis.
So on a forum about film and TV - I am not sure how anyone can not discuss politics. Politics is heavily IN the film, television, and the music industry. So if you really want to discuss film - most of them have some political bent. Music certainly does - and this forum, for the most part is in service and is related to music.So long as people aren't swearing at each other I don't see a real problem - especially on an American based forum which supposedly holds the first amendment as -- well -- first.
But the US is no longer in the top 20 most democratic countries in the world and since 2016 (I wonder why) has been reduced from Full Democracy to Flawed Democracy.
It's depressing. I need to put on some country music to cheer me up.
...The first amendment does not apply to private entities such as AA. AA owners and management are free to control the content of their site in any manner they see fit. We as users accept that as one of many terms of use. Obviously, if AA policies drive content providers (us) away, it will fail in the marketplace and ultimately cease to exist. Self correction in the macro environment.
Yes I understand this. Heck I was banned from one forum because I posted a picture of Peter Qvortrup (Audio Note) having a set of Avante Garde speakers in the broom closet at his manufacturing plant. The owner of the forum owns and is a dealer of Avant Garde and found that to be insulting and so I was banned (I had no idea he was a dealer/owner). LOL. His private forum he gets to be absolute ruler and dictator. BSimilar in fact to all employers in the US - many states can fire you without cause. So while it is a democracy in that you can choose between two parties who receive massive amounts of money from corporations and businesses - it is not a "democracy" for employees where instead of ONE dictator ruling all - you have millions of mini-dictators running businesses.
Where they can fire you if you are a smoker, have you drug tested. After all what you do in your free time is not really your free time.
And if you're the wrong colour (or gender) things are much much worse for you.
I am often surprised at the things people seem to be able to do in Canada (supposedly commie land) that you can't do in the US. And not just pot.
The moderators on AA are usually quite good - they let people have their say and let them vent - leave these threads up for a couple of days and then dump them. Kind of a release valve.

...I think there might be a group of zealous, non-participating thread monitors that roam the sub-forums looking for policy violations, esp politics. "Films" is under the radar for the moment "but it probably won't last once word gets out.
...in the past so don't fit the mold of a typical glorious guardian of good . OTOH, this thread has lasted a lot longer than I would have guessed AND a member of the AA leadership team is now aware of it. Uh-Oh............
