Understood and _very_ much appreciated. Perhaps I'm not being clear enough. I don't want it the current forums to return to a single forum of latest posts. I just suggest:
(1) "Latest Posts" to be the option people pick for "All Latest Posts" from all forums.
(2) The topical forums (e.g. News/Activism. Religion, etc.) be the option people pick for latest News/Activism posts, latest Religion posts, etc.
That way those who want to cover all the bases at once easily can do so, those who want to cover the latest in just one forum can do so easily and those who have misc/off topics posts can still do so without the huge incentive to post improperly in the News/Activism forum.
Perhaps I'm not understanding your response correctly (if not, please clarify, as many seem to share my idea), but I really do think our proposal will benefit both posters and those who have to monitor the posters.
