A hard ban on politics and current events, instead of the wiggly one we have in the site guidelines now.

Politics, I'm definitely with you. "Current events", though, is an extremely broad term -- what exactly did you intend it to mean?

The guidelines currently say "if they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off topic". The predicate should be clarified, and the word "probably" removed.

Wouldn't that ban a lot of tech companies' current actions? Ie, isn't everything happening now in Silicon Valley etc a <i>current event</i>?
