I hear what you're sayin', but dumb ol' me, I never asked permission,  I just clicked on through without a hitch. 

Maybe I have special privileges because I'm a Contributing Member. Donno.

afair, and I may be wrong, the political chat was supposed to be in a hidden section, just like the 'life style' leather section, and you were supposed to ask to be allowed into that section. However, it appears it didn't go that way. The 'permissions' doesn't seem to work properly. I've never asked to be allowed in to the 'life style' leather section but I see everything anyone posts in there

I’ve requested repeatedly to have the permission revoked so the first 10 posts when I click “all activity” aren’t this nonsense but, nope, still there.  Makes this forum 40%-50% political bickering vs actual leather talk.

Sadly, I allowed myself to get sucked into this thread but as a result I have been evaluating the forum's value to me.  I don't have any leather working machines or fancy/expensive tools which eliminates 70% to 80% of the forum content.  When a thread is posted that I can relate to I find I already knew and practiced what was being discussed so not much value there. 

 I think it's time to move on, no loss to the forum since I'm not a paying subscriber for the reasons stated.  For those to whom the forum is relevant it's invaluable, don't screw it up.

Goodbye, Very SORRY TO LOSE YOU. Another one bites the dust.  I just checked the views, in the last 24 hours there were only 219, sad. The POLITICS are killing this entire forum!!!!!!

I do not recall ever asking permission. I was able 'walk right in' so to speak.

I think because the political threads were originally in the 'Off Topic' forum, they are open to everyone. They got moved to the Adults Only forum when some of the threads got nasty, and there were complaints.

I don't remember how I did it, but I have managed to turn off notifications for that forum. I still get notifications for the other threads/forums, but not for every single post that's made. It's weird - I don't really understand how the notifications work. Usually it's only for threads I've posted in (subscribed) to. But yesterday, I got a post about the Hobo bag Bert had made. And, of course, that was a brand new thread. 

Maybe if the Admin. would make all areas of the 'Adult' forum truly  'subscription only' we could eliminate all the complaints. 

I certainly agree the forum has gone downhill, and something needs to change.   There is SO much valuable information here! If I have a question or problem with leatherwork, the first thing I do is search this site. If that doesn't work, I make a post of my own in the relevant section, and nearly always, SOMEONE is able to answer my question!

Okay, I've figured it out! 

If you click on the header for a particular forum, a box pops up on the left side of the screen that says 'follow' Click on the box if you want  notifications from that

 particular forum. 

In my account settings, I've selected that I don't wish to receive notifications at all. I prefer to read the forums in person. But, for some reason, I selected that I wanted notifications from the 'Critique My Work' forum, which is why I got the post about the Hobo bag! And doing that overrides the 'no notification setting!

Fine tune your account settings, and you can eliminate all the posts you don't want to see from your e-mail!
