Political discussions
From today onward, political and other controversial debates would only be allowed in the Bakar Channel which is only accessible to users with 150 posts or more.

This has been done keeping in mind that we are primarily a travel forum and do not want people signing up specifically to participate in such topics.

Apt Approach indeed YS!

Alas.... I had some more comments and opinions I wanted to share on the latest RT thread... and now I cannot anymore, since I have not crossed the 200th post?
Any alternative?

Re: Political discussions
How about I lower the minimum post limit to enter Bakar Channel to 150 and you finish off those posts in a jiffy.

Re: Political discussions
YS, 150 should be limit for only political bakars. For other secret bakar, limit should be more than... ca...250 or 300. You know why.

Sadly there is not much there in the first place to warrant that, the only person who should be fearing this is the naughty uncle jee on the forum
