What difference do you think it would make, Emp?
It gives people the option to hide them if they want. Not sure about Tributes but some of the politics threads deserved to be hidden out the way. Politics has already moved back into a general area from BCD, previously it wouldn't show up in recent discussion, now it does.
Maybe if the posters in those sections can learn to behave in a way that doesn't cause extra work for the moderators, those in charge might consider reintegrating them more fully.
Has it caused less issues since the move to its own area????

Basically for non-contentious stuff but hidden from non-members and from Google.
It could be used for discussing work things, for example.
I know I can use (and have used) BCD for this, but I'd like not to wade through the stuff that's in BCD - I don't mind it existing at all, it's just not the place for me (same as the politics section).

I'm just not happy at the practice of 'burying' a section of the forum down a layer where it will be seen less - especially with a subject as important as politics.

The fact that we have an area for such discussions on a guitar forum feels like a concession to the desire of some members to discuss contentious subjects. I don't have a problem with it, and join in with some discussions (at least until someone puts 50p in one of the dick heads and any debate is lost in favour of a toddler bun fight). I totally agree with it being down a level. It's not a core of the forum, and a relatively small percentage of members have anything to do with it.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI can see an argument for putting it in bcd rather than ot but bcd seems to have become a home for the bizarre rather than just a private chat area so it’s probdbly less likely to have serious discussion there - part of OT is fine.
Having a politics section on here was one of the best moves ever.

I still read it all, but it does seem less actively used than it was. I would miss it though.
