While several measures could be taken to achieve the same purpose, keep in mind that we have never had a problem with political threads in the "Off Topic" section since it's inception. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of posters have not engaged in the current tit for tat thread battle.
It would be sad to think we need to permanently restrict ourselves from our own devices. Fortunately, even with the differing political points of view, most have remained respectful and civil, which is what we should expect from mature adults.
So to that end, I have no reason to believe that a temporary moratorium of political threads until after the upcoming election will not smooth out this bump in the road.
Lets see what others who care to render an opinion think.
