How to delete yourself out of the news and politics

I think I fixed it. Can a gold member please opt out of the politics forum so I can test it.

Joey........ I can still click to the Forum, BUT I see only threads that I started in the past, no one elses (no new posts, or old for that matter).......and if I attempt to click in to a post, it denies me for lack of permission.

Must be a bug in the wires........
