You can of course suggest rules changes all you want. Bungie will see them if the community is discussing them. That though, does not mean that any of them would ever be implemented.
I'd actually be in favor of relaxing the Flood's rules a bit, in exchange for some more strict rules on other fronts. We should never have religious discussions. They're never even tempered. They ALWAYS end badly. I could see the political issue being discussed in a civil fashion, but only to a degree. It would have to be relegated to theory, or broad current topics. "What do you think of the new Supreme Court Verdict" would probably be okay. "Vote for [insert politician here]" would pretty much always turn bad.
Though, since there are millions of other sites dedicated to that very thing, I certainly don't think its needed here. So I have no strong feelings for letting The Flood discuss "Black Topics". We get by fine without them, and some software developer's off topic forum is not important enough to necessitate any and all discussion.
I would though, hope that blog and relationship threads could be reeled in if we allowed more "serious" discussions. If the Flood thinks its mature enough for real and actual topical discussions, then they can find somewhere else to discuss things that aren't even actual discussions.
