Here on Psience Quest, the community voted to allow political and conspiracy theory discussions only in subforums which are hidden by default but which can be made visible by joining a particular user group. Later, we added a third hidden subforum - see the update at the bottom of this post.
To do this:
To leave the user group, simply repeat steps one and two above, and at step three click "Leave Group".
Update: membership of this group now grants you access to a third subforum on top of the politics and conspiracy theory subforums, also under the "Other Topics" forum. The new subforum is titled "Non-Psi-Related Scientific Controversies". For guidance as to when and when not to post threads to this forum, please consult the thread, How to navigate creating threads about science and scientific controversies on PQ
