The way I look at it this is a "guy talk" board with the common thrust being to try to win at gambling, mostly sports gambling.
Any topics related are OK by me.
Any of you guys can start threads featuring your interests or adding content that some or most of us would be interested in.
Please do. Better to be pro active than to complain in my humble opinion.

Well, I thought people liked to laugh. So I posted a sacha Baren Cohen skit of him clowning some idiotic politician and it was moved to the poly forum. I was then told that “only sports related topics were allowed in the offshore.”
That doesnt make much sense does it? With what we have on the main forum currently.
Too many posts regarding either politics and/or race.
However, i'd rather see that than an empty forum.
The only thing i dont like is when a post becomes "the telephone game" where you can Title the post "my favorite cookie" and then a poster can say how like chocolate chip and another will say oreos and then another will say vanilla cream and 4 different posters will clog up the next 25 posts saying how the vanilla cream guy is "racist" and blah blah blah

Both very good & accuract posts.
But bourn does have a point.
We like to allow some flexibility but honestly no need to post political threads regularly or daily in offshore.
At least try to pick your spots fellas.
Don't understand why that would happen. Because that would seem to certainly fit the spirit of this board. Maybe you were pissing them off that day. haha Just saying. Just forget about it. They generally give us (and certainly you) plenty of room to air it out here. So long as we keep things respectful.
But I have noticed that what is sanctioned one day is moved the next. Not always but on occasion.
I don't get bent out of shape by the political or so called racist stuff because those are conversations that come up in groups of guys all the time. In fact I think that the honesty that (in some cases) accompanies anonymity can give us a true look at how people think. I find that refreshing whether I agree with them or not.
Instead of wishing people would not start these types of thread how about delete them .
Isnt that what moderators are supposed to do?
Its my job to wish people don’t start idiotic threads not yours
I dont really understand it either. It’s some puzzling shit. I didn’t piss off anyone. I posted a thread in this particular section which I have done like twice in my 12 years here and they moved it to the fucking poly forum within 10 minutes. Hilarious. True story.
The comment and explanation I got that, “the offshore is just for sports related topics only” is an example of incompetence and the mods not all being on the same page at all.
The guidelines are listed for all to see.
OFFSHORE FORUM - The place to discuss all kinds of sports and gambling related subjects.
Political Forum - Spirited Political comedy. All serious political and World Event posting is also to be posted in this forum.
Mods won't enforce their own rules. First it was because we're close to an election. Now? Who knows?
