Do we need a consensus?

I wish I could hide the political section. So much drama in there and it’s embarrassing to see “adults” act like children.

Just for you, I slapped together a quick Tampermonkey script that hides the Politics section, and any entries from Politics that show up in the recent post section.

It's very quick and dirty, and pretty much represents only a few minutes of effort, and it does it's work in a very cludgy way, but it does work. Tested on Firefox 73.0.1 with Tampermonkey 4.11.

Code: 
// ==UserScript==
// @name         RIU_Politics
// @namespace    RIU_Politics
// @version      1.0
// @description  Hide Politics from the RIU ticker
// @author       spek9
// @match        *rollitup.org*
// @grant        GM.getValue
// @require      https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js
// ==/UserScript==

var $ = unsafeWindow.jQuery;

$(document).ready(function() {

    /* Find and remove the Politics section */

    var nodeMatch = $('.node-title:contains("Politics")');

    if (nodeMatch.length > 0) {
        nodeMatch.each(function(idx, elmnt) {
            $(elmnt).parent().parent().hide();
        });
    }

    /* Find and remove Politics recent post entries */

    var tickMatch = $('.contentRow-minor:contains("Politics")');

    if (tickMatch.length > 0) {
        tickMatch.each(function(idx, elmnt) {
            $(elmnt).parent().parent().hide();
        });
    }
});

Look Ma, no Politics!

interesting. the politic section is why i left from 2011 to a year or so ago. Cracker was her name.....i believe she followed us around to make sure we were not providing "misinfo" from 911 and i also strongly believe she was paid to do so ...... I ended up cussing her and all the admins on this site. They still never banned me......

The politics section here is just awful. I wouldn’t suggest anyone look at it without an up-to-date tetanus shot.

Had a buddy shut down about 20 years ago and he did that. He watered everything with asprin , kept all his beans , then shut it down.
 
Less then a million users, less than a few hundred active. It would be the horrible use of money to spend trying to convince us of anything. Putting your propaganda on a billboard would be much more effective. Gear and seeds are the only people spending money on trying to convince us of anything.

Maybe some of these "democrats" are Russian Sock Puppets ? There is a known technique to ridicule a certain standpoint by fullfilling it to an extreme way... rendering it absurd by doing so, in turn creating disgust in potential future adherents...

If this was facebook maybe, it's a little grass site filled with outlaws (I say that with love) who's political opinions mean squat. No, it's just some trolls screwing with a handful of regular political regulars so they can play whack a mole.

In 2020 , there is no need to push me away , they can make me do that myself. In 2008 , we were causing this site to be the number one result with "911 inside job" ......that thread didnt last much longer.

It's not working for me, but I'm running FireFox 77.0.1 w/Tampermokey 4.11.

The syntax looks fine, but I'm still seeing the politics section and posts from it in "new posts". Before restarting FireFox Tampermokey was saying no scripts were running, but it no longer says that after restarting it, and Politics still shows up. Where in the script are you matching it to RIU? I see it commented out in the header, but I have little experience in these types of scripts, so I'm not sure if Tampermokey uses the header for certain things.

It's commented out because it's meta information only. It's info for Tampermonkey itself, and not part of the actionable script.

With the script in place and enabled in Tampermonkey, can you open the Developer Tools Web Console, then reload RIU with a screenshot of any results that show up in the console? Also, let me know what actual URL for RIU you're going to.

I took screenshots with ADP enabled/disabled just in case that was interfering.

Here's what I get with ADP enabled:

Just don't click on the politics link.

It can be hard when I see something out of the corner of my eye that makes me think "Is this person serious?" :lol:

I'm not afraid to admit that I can easily get sucked into reading them, even though I try as hard as I can not to participate in them, and I would rather not know the political views of anybody here. I came here to learn to grow better, and to help those who are just starting out, and politics just gets in the way.

Your Tampermonkey icon is greyed out, meaning that it appears disabled. Click on it and verify that.

That was definitely part of the issue, but I'm still seeing politics. I was wondering why it was greyed out when it said "X Enabled" but I assumed that meant to click "X Enabled" to disable it. It is enabled now, but now it says no scripts are running again. The script is enabled, though.
