Actually, I think that is the LESS draconian measure. You see, the forum is called politics and campaigns, and it seems candidate threads ARE campaigns, thus making it the appropriate forum to discuss such things any way.

Secondly, moving such threads to P&C WITHOUT changing the rules for GD means LESS censorship of NON-CANDIDATE threads.

It worked for I/P issues, why not Candidate issues? You don't even have to create a new forum, because there is a ready made one sitting there waiting to be fully utilised.

GD is saved, The bashers and defenders are happy (they get to keep bashing and defending) and your and the mods work loads are minimised.

I think it is the best of ALL worlds.

Vote NO on the new rules, YES on moving candidate threads to P&C!
