There is little moderation in Political and Religious discussion atm. Paparick has just left the mod team so one of the few points of contact we had that would reliably act is now gone.
There are multis running wild, spamming like mad up in there.
Perhaps you could even find a regular PaRD poster you think is trustworthy enough and just give them mod powers for that subforum?
Something needs to change though. It sometimes takes upwards of 2 weeks for any action to be taken when the forum is filled with spam threads - by that time it's too late.
