I have been a Super Moderator for 9 years on an automotive board that is also based on the vBulletin format. We have many automotive subjects broken down by topic and the technical threads are second to none.
However, we also have an Off-Topic section that is absolutely a sandbox of verbal cat litter at times. As often as we have to say no politics, no religious views, no nasty arguments, no name calling... the list goes on. Invariably, someone posts an article from some extremist political journal and it takes off from there. We have members who have NEVER posted anything automotive, but openly declare their purpose is to rile things up. In truth, the Off-Topic forum is the most active, but its intent and purpose is often ignored and it needs constant moderation.
That being said, I believe you have a different type of poster here, but my opinion is to not open that Pandora's Box, but leave it alone. As previously said, if you want to rant, there are places to go that accept it.
