I am going to the political forum withdraws HAHAHAHA
Seems like this would also be a good time to remind people how to filter the forums to customize their default viewWe need opt out/an ala carte with every forum on the site.
@Jer, wanted to give you a heads up that the system is apparently not saving preferences. I was opted in this morning and now am no longer opted in.
You don’t need to push this through, I can just wait the two hours, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
UPDATE 9/17 9:00am:
I have finally been able to reset the value for everybody so the tens of thousands that were suddenly seeing unwanted threads, that should now be resolved.
Yes, you may hate me for it (lol if that's what finally pushes you there) but you will need to go back in and opt-in to either/both of the forums. This should be the last time.

I think that’s just the default screen when you don’t have access to something (I see it when looking at someone’s profile that has their posts hidden) and I’m pretty sure that isn’t a super fanatic feature.I tried to post on Presidential Candidates thread, was informed that I needed to pay a monthly fee, and cannot see any of those threads at present.

Or can’t be bothered to opt outJeez. This is getting ridiculous over a couple of whiners who don't know how to scroll past things they don't like.

It looks like Jer had to do another update.

I came back to see I had 14 notifications but they instantly poofed, the worst rug pull of instant gratification
It’s going from opt-out to opt-in so the default will be to not see the politics threads. The result really is that the not super engaged posters will go from seeing the politics threads to not seeing them.I still don't understand what exactly the change is. People could always opt out. So what exactly is resetting?
Not just every forum but every thread.

Yeah maybe 2 or 3 times a month someone comes in says some weak talking points and then exclaims I don't want to see this stuff.I understand that, but was there really this mass of people who didn't know you could opt out? That seems crazy to me. But then again I know that most everyone pretty much sticks to the default settings on everything so maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe someone high up in the state government. Not quite the governor but not just a junior member either. I can't quite figure out who it might be.It's gotta be advertisers/people with pull. They'd ignore the whiny ones.
