ROBLOX Should make a Politics forum, or allow political talk on this day.

Today is an important day, and I'm sure all of us want to share our opinions and thoughts about it. Plus, this election is important, and may change our future.

A Politics Forum where users can talk all about politics. Why should their be a Politics Forum? Because most ROBLOXians nowadays are teenagers and early-aged adults, and you don't find most 10 year Olds and under on the forums, and it's a choice.

I highly recommend this, so it'll decrease some problems with the moderators, and it'll give them less of a hard time.

Let's just face it. Discussing politics on a kids game will only lead to flame wars, but it's oh-so-fun when you win one that you didn't instigate.

It leads to everyone talking about a subject they have no business being in.

Well, politics has always been a major thing, and it's good. It'll help us learn about it in the future when we're older, and can possibly educate the young. Now, I don't support the 'flaming' part, I believe all of that can be moderated in some way.

Not only is Politics important? But it can aspire others to do better, and make better choices in the future about which candidate they decide to vote on, or even become a politician themselves, their choice.

My point is, ROBLOX is somewhat functioned to have the young learn about the real-life world. This is something they could learn. Take this into consideration, most kids that are around 10 and younger don't usually go through the forums, but would rather play exciting games that they like. Even if they were to roam around here, the forums will always be cracked down onto moderation.

I hope you can as well support this.

No. We don't need more ammunition for little children to start flamewars, especially on sensitive topics such as same-gender marriage.

That's why we have moderators to block certain subjects, and flaming is not allowed in the forums, and that's a overall rule, I don't think that should only be focused on as a main problem.

There's some things in S&I that aren't really important to us. POLITICS IS. Why? It can change our future. This would also increase some kind of intelligence for others, and by the time they reach this in school or somewhere, they would already know it by heart.

Sure, there is bad effects to it, but isn't everything else? It's not a major effect, it's not like there is something they can't moderate on a certain subject.

You shouldn't really think this is a 'kids-game', because most of the population in ROBLOX are really teenagers and adults, only a small portion of ROBLOX are young children, and you should look at the statistics on how everything is modern war, scripting language, and many more..

If you cannot vote, what is the point. Yes in High School everyone talked about this election and so did I. But it is annoying, and it has no place being here.

You don't need to vote just to talk about politics. You don't necessarily need to vote to talk about politics.

If it's annoying? Then others have the ability to simply not comment on that particular forum. Others find politics amusing. I believe others deserve the right to talk about politics, as others are allowed to talk about Role-Playing, Music, and Off-Topic things.

Suuure. A bunch of 8-13 year olds talking about politics.

No support. Politics are against the roblox rules anyway.

And? It's something new to them that can actually EDUCATE them in something they'll need to know in REAL-LIFE. I'm sorry, but Role-Playing won't help them know how to get a better career? Have you not come to ROBLOX and talked about something you didn't know?

If it's against ROBLOX Rules, then it should be lifted. Just because YOU don't like it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. This is a globally thing too.

It's against the forum rules to discuss politics, why would they make a whole forum for it?

Why not? All who want to talk about politics, and certain political talks, they should go to a 'Politics Forum'. If you dislike it, then you should agree with me, that there should be one place to put all of that, and out of whatever forum you are at.

As coldbloobkiller9 said, discussing politics is against the rules. I'll explain why.

This would start lots of flame wars over silly things to argue about on a "kids" site. For example this big election thingy would start a huge flame war involving most of you Americans(wich is basically almost ALL of ROBLOXians. Although I for one am not American).

We are not permitted to talk about politics and the election on ROBLOX's forums. If you don't like this, don't talk to me about it, go talk to the moderator who established this.

Politics is NOT the only things that start up an argument. Look around, and tell me whether or not every forum start up some kind of flame war? Also, you can't imply the election was only revolving Americans, and you're VERY wrong that *ALL* of ROBLOXians are from America.

You don't have to support it, but others do. Your opinions don't matter, but the facts do, and the facts are that Politics is important, and small things like 'Role-playing' aren't really going to help you.

I do agree that there should be but at the same time, I do not.

I LOVE politics but I'm afraid it will start WAY too many flame wars.

Politics-forum relates should be restricted to 13+.

But it will be a alot of flaming none the less.

I would LOVE this, but sadly I have to say no. Politics make people mad enough already, and bringing it here can lead to bad things. Not to mention, a lot of things politics have to do with, can't be mentioned here.
