If people do not like to discuss politics or religion, then they should not enter the threads that are discussing them. I am not suggesting that we should use politics and religion as insults or randomly in other threads, I'm saying that, in The Flood, the users should be able to make a thread or topic that is discussing different religions or political views. I really feel that if Bungie enforced the rule that you may only discuss religion and politics in the threads that were made for just that reason, then we wouldn't have as much of a problem with flamers and the like. But, these threads would still need to be policed, heavily, so that no flames or idiots can post whatever they want as an assault at others.
And to Recon, it shouldn't matter that this is a gaming company's community site. With that argument, one could say we should just delete the entire Flood, because that has nothing to do with anything that could make Bungie or their games a better place.
You are missing the point here. People, in general, can not be trusted to act maturely in these sorts of discussions. And as has been said, the anonymity of the interwebz and the main demographic of this site would not mix well. It's best to keep religion and politics to private forums. Also, to be fair, this is a video game developer's website, and not something like teens4christ.org or fstdt.com.
