Politics... My Complaint (1 Viewer)

[Respaul]

I am led to beleive there is a no politics rule on this board.

So why is it allowed for people to make ignorant , biased, un educated political statements in a certain thread that some of us may find highly offensive... and yet they are not deleted, and those that are offended cannot return a reply as that would be breaking the rules of this board.


Please, either allow politics completely or ban it completely.



Thank you

Of course not... personally id quite like to discuss your politics, I feel it could be an intresting discussion.

Anyway I pm'd Martin my complaint.

Theoretically speaking...

If its ok for someone to make an anti war statement with there avatar would it be equally ok for someone to have a pro war avatar if that was there view.... or going further how would people feel if someone was to place such things as "f*ck S*****"
or "Nuke I***" in there avatar.

Do you see my point?

 

[Nekton]

I see your point.

or signatures.....


I see your point totally.....if people cant discuss politics they shouldnt be able to have politically sensitive avatars/signatures since that is political expression too.

Actually if I was pro-war and had a pro-war avatar, then I wouldnt be surprised if a conflict developed.

I care about people and I wish not to offend them unless required to, and I neither am required nor wish to offend Respaul, especially in this situation

sorry for sounding like an egghead, but ive been doing this for a while now....

Ok, here's the decision..

In principle I agree neither side should be excluded but I see this as a special case. The no politics rule is in place to protect the forum, prevent flamewars as we saw after 9/11. But I don't think the peace avatars are insulting to anyone and think they should stay. We've had discussions dropping into politics before, at those times they were not considered a threat and neither are these avatars IMO. Understandably however, pro-war avatars could be just that and are not accepted
