Sometimes those topics are going to be relevant to the discussion, so you can't blanket ban them. Without a mod to police it they are going to come up anyway - some people just can't help themselves.
Some race threads are going to be awfully quiet if you can't chew the general fat of F1 while you wait for something interesting to happen.

To say pretty pretty please, let’s agree to not tolerate dragging AD21 over the sodding coals, yet again.
(and all the other grave injustices that keep getting brought up ad infinitum)
It’s more than just tedious, it’s killed these pages compared to where they were a few years ago.

Are there no mods in this forum then? (probably a silly question as it would appear not Some race threads are going to be awfully quiet if you can't chew the general fat of F1 while you wait for something interesting to happen.
)There are plenty of "general" F1 threads for arguing (if you must) but I'd certainly prefer the race threads to be strictly for the current race.

Examples.
Un-Acceptable:
We all know Lewis can't overtake around the outside without turning in. It's the slums mentality.
Max races like he's wrestling his Dad in Primark for the last orange beanie.
Acceptable:
Lap 7, Turn 5, Hamilton and Verstappen's line was outside of traditional corner trajectories but if you look at the same corner last year, the rubber from support races was causing issues so perhaps they had that in mind.
lol this reminds me of those "office" examples you see for things like shut the fUn-Acceptable:

How about we all just respond or not respond, let the discussion meander or not meander, ignore or not ignore?
How about we have F1 race threads where the race can be discussed in an adult manner? As I said before there's plenty of other threads on the forum where you can discuss/argue/troll to your hearts content if that floats your boat...My tactics:
- Join race thread when PIAP starts it and thank him\note down timings\randomly vote for something
- Comment on something so thread is easily findable
- Ignore it until FP1 and then join in
- Leave immediately the race finishes but sneakily pop back in every now and then to see what people are still arguing about
The noise has been there ever since Fangio hit a straw bail at Silverstone in 1950 gifting Farina the win ... it's just much much louder these days!

I'm staggered that the vote isn't virtually unanimously in favour of restricting the rubbish! When I first suggested this I almost added that anyone voting against it should be blocked from any race threads...
No doubt you are staggered, those who promote censorship often are.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
