I don't really use SN&D much and it definitely has its issues but I think it's definitely scapegoated a lot.

I also have an issue with the "use a politics forum" logic. Most forums I've seen have various sections far beyond the main area it was designed around and a section for news and serious discussions seems like a standard one. And if we were to get rid of sections because they're apparently irrelevant to Big Brother, Serious Debates certainly wouldn't be the only one to go.

An honest and reasoned post, there has been a lot of finger pointing going on, people in glass houses spring to mind, we are trying to address the problems in SD which are not all about bans btw, and hopefully it will be resolved so everyone is happy.
