I wish to make a thread in the Flood, a thread discussing the political views of Batman and other comic book heroes (over analysing, I know).
I know very well that this could get out of hand easily and that political discussion of any kind is frowned upon extremely.


However can I be trusted if I keep the conversation intelligent and unoffending to all viewers?

No politics, period. The Flood has no self control.

Vote for me for a free cookie.

You can't keep it unoffending. Here are the reasons why
1. It's The Flood. Don't expect intelligent post
2. You can't control what people post in your threads

Please don't be too harsh on the Flood it has many intelligent posters.
Also it is possible for me to control what they post to a point, depending on my wording and the tone set in the OP.

There are like 100 threads concerning political and religious threads a day. I doubt anyone cares.

On the odd chance that someone actually cares shows up i'm screwed, I don't want to take any chances.

Your like my mind, telling me what I already know.
I thought maybe an exception could have possibly been made, I am servilely disappointed.



Instead I will make a delightful thread about Scarlett Johansson's busts.

Exceptions can't be made. Reason being if they made an exception for you then they would have to make an exception for everyone. Making exceptions in the Flood is just a bad idea.

Key

They're not going to give you permission even if you ask to make a thread about cupcakes. It's against Mod Policy to officially permit a thread as the views and interpretations of the rules differs (sometimes hugely) between the Mods.

What one says "Yes." to another might ban you for, etc.

Well I can't seem to get mod stalker working properly so until then, no controversial threads.
