Made this post else where, but I'll be asking it asking anyways as a suggestion;
Honestly fed up of seeing it being clogged up 24/7 with Trump related threads, and that's no exaggeration...

That has absolutely nothing to do with a blacklist... there are plenty of interesting topics found in the off-topic section that aren't related to Trump... :|

These threads are ususally started by the same people though. Can't you just ignore them? Originally Posted by BeerWolf

He's asking for threads with certain keywords to never feature in the recent posts for anybody. Originally Posted by Nixx

Not "for anybody", my interpretation of the request is a personal blacklist. So for the person setting it up to prevent posts with keywords appearing on their own recent topics list. Originally Posted by Protean

"Believing something is not an accomplishment. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door."

I kinda feel like there should be like a "political news" board, just because it so completely dominates off-topic.

This, Trump and the US election bullshit could have their own major section and sub-section, it gets thousands more posts than all 12 video games in that section combined. Originally Posted by Rojaha

basically like OP i'd like to block all the political bullshit threads, but still enjoy off-topic, but when you see Recent Forum Posts, and 6 out of the 7 displayed have Trump in the title it's pretty sad.
