This is a question for everyone who runs at least one community that is not politically or religiously themed or focused. i.e. CommunityAdmins.com is a community management discussion community, not a religious or political discussion community.

So, for those individuals, do you allow political and/or religious discussions on your community?

In my case, no, I don't.

Political? Sometimes, depends on the arguement. If sometimes says, "So and so is a stupid President", there isn't any discussion. However, if they do that, and support it with a bunch of evidence, and it doesn't get slanderous, sure go ahead.

I don't like religious discussion on my community. I find religion very personal, and something I've had trouble with so there isn't any religious discussion of my websites. Smile

One of the sites I'm an admin at is Religious based. We allow politics on it in the World News forum.

I have a current events forum on one board. There's some political discussion there, and I'm fine with that as long as people don't get out of hand. If they do, I'll step in and deal with them. But I'll generally allow it as long as it's not getting offensive and such.

Both. I find religious more interesting than political, though. Most political discussions seem like bandwagon tirades.

I allow both and guess I am lucky that the regular members that use the forum have enough respect for each other to allow them to have "opinions"

I think it is fine (moreso, anyway) when a community is smaller. When it gets to a certain point, it gets a lot harder to where it can suck moderator hours if you try to maintain respect, etc.

I don't know.

No one on my site has discussed anything religious or political, and I have no policy on it. I suppose I would allow it if someone did wish to discuss it.
