Sorry if this has been asked before, but now that we are on the .win network, is there a reason these two are still separate things?

In the Culture War that sparked GG, what are Unrelated Politics?
As to the content votes "These rules were intended because we don't trust the people to come here to generate the content we want them to."
You say: "Part of the issue was that political posts that had absolutely nothing to do with gaming, journalism ethics, or similar were being posted that nearly every time turned into tribal shit flinging between different political factions over things that had nothing to do with KiA itself. We implemented the rule to curtail that kind of thing before it happened."
Listen, it was Reddit. If someone posted something and it got upvoted and made it to the top - That is how this kind of system works! If a funny post or a tangent post made it to the top maybe it was just a slow news day and people were upvoting a laugh.
KiA was neutered by stuffing it into a little safe box. At one point KiA was the leading edge of the culture war, mentioned by name. For the most part it became long forgotten, just reposting news articles from other places.
Say what you want but the karma rules only allows the system to be played and destroyed, a tool for astroturfers, trolls and bots.
