    Fifteen out of Twenty threads on page one are clickbait question headlines.

    I have a clickbait headline for you:

    What the fuck happened to MMO-champion? When did it become a clickfarm and flamebait factory? Why are the mods so slow to prune incendiary threads and leftist propaganda/Nazi namecalling.

    I think the worst are these creepy threads that ask vague personal questions but are secretly compiling data to sell and use against you.

    How many legitimate users are actually left on this subsection of the forum. It seems like bots and puppet accounts outnumber actual users 10/1.

    What a shitshow.

    Sometimes people do click bait titles on their own, like you just did? Other times, they copy the title from where they got their content.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    And herein lies one of the biggest problems

    People spewing their political stances + ideological points of view incessantly and non - stop , on a VIDEO GAMING FORUM

    Each side doesn 't believe they are wrong - ok , fine , that 's how it is with opinions. But this forum has shown time and time again that people who come to his here video game discussions forum who are inclined to selfishly discuss politics and stuff can 't cut the mustard

    It's been like that since I started posting here. More gender bait posts and then those were banned, now it's politics. My advice is to not reply to individuals who are trying to bait a response (and I know that is difficult sometimes).

    Yes, I think this is true.

    I get the feeling they wanted me to move to polictics forum so I did.

    I literally dodge political threads. They're too "toxic", in my opinion, and filled with people unwilling to debate.

    Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
    [...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..

    Seriously no “and number 14 will surprise you” joke?
    If you don’t like it than toss the posters on your ignore list and move on with your life.

    I hope you realize you can hover over the thread to see what the content inside is like?

    This forum was filled with more political topics but then mods started moving them to the politics forum, and people have stopped showing interest in making threads that are more than gun-n-run questions.

    If you're going to describe it like that, than how do you know they're not all clickbait, and the ones that seem like they're not are just more subtle about it?

    Just ignore the political circle jerks as best you can; stay the hell out of the politics subforum (because that shit is nothing short of cancer) and screen it here. Throw what punches can't be left unthrown, know when to stand up and sit down, know who you disagree with in good faith and who's just stirring shit...and out of those, try to remember that feeding those usual suspects is an exercise in stupidity.

    Once you trim away the bullshit, you're left with a pretty alright forum. No, you're not going to agree with everyone, because that's boring, but at least you can get away from the toxic.

    But seriously. Avoid /politics.

    Just do what I do and put the worst offenders, those that post 5 threads a day, on your ignore list. The front page is pretty clean for me.

    Sure, if you follow Fox "News", perhaps. I really don't run into this problem with Reuters, BBC or NPR. Like, at all.

    Then again, I'm sure you got the idea that 'Main Stream Media' is some far-left bastion from your favorite moronic Youtuber. This is why you watch real news to gain information about the world, not fucking Youtube.

    There are proper discussion forums. There is no format, no appropriate moderation and the rules are silly and very loosely stipulated.

    This forum is basically entertainment. Do you expect a political thread at an entertainment forum to be a place for discussion? I do not

    This.

    And some seem to forget, nothing is forcing you to read a post. And use the ignore feature. If it is used correctly, it works pretty well in weeding out the posts and threads you do not want to see.

    political threads are great, basically according to mmo-c 100% of the userbase is a left/right wing extremist and a nazi simple, so much debate to be had there /s
