Politics are by nature touchy... Pretty much anything can be seen as touchy if it causes an uproar. Also, not everyone wants to see that type of talk. I usually don't want to see chat spammed with boring political talk for an hour.

Why do we have vip then? Pretty much the only thing different from vip and global is the politics. We might as well just remove vip if we make a politic chat. :/

Tl;dr, its a -1 from me.

 

... EDIT: another stupid post by me with not enough research

 

Such as...? Give us a suggestion, its easy to say to add something but harder to actually put into effect without knowing what that something is.

But, it is a valid point. Your basically asking for two channels that are almost exactly the same..

We don't make rules just to make them. There all there for a reason. If you really wanna talk to someone about politics you can always take it into a pm.

 

Talking about economics won't warrant a warning, it never has.
You can discuss whatever you want in global, politics included, if you're not being disrespectful, which is what this suggestion is requesting.
So ultimately this suggestion changes nothing
