In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You didn't get in trouble though.
I've been unofficially warned about something a while back, it was completely unintentional, but having had it explained to me, I can clearly see why the said action had to be taken.
It's exactly the same here. You did something, unintentionally, so rather than banning you, you've been given the benefit of the doubt.
I understand that
My point is though, what the warning sounds like, the thread itself was not political, it was that it COULD become political.
With that in mind, I clearly did not make it to be a political thread and anyone who did is de-railing the thread.
Now let me ask you this, if someone de-rails my thread with a political debate/flame war, should I receive moderator action for it?
Keep in mind that everything was completely civil before the mod locked it so this is all assumptions on the mods part. Holy flaming nutsack, Ken. Your thread was about the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Whether or not it was about the presidential election via an incident with a gaming company, it was about the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. That is one of the most quintessentially political things in existence.
The election was tied to the thread but it was not the focus of the thread. There is a clear difference between me making a thread about a political election than one a armor bonus for watching something on xbox live.
The thread was not made to be nor ended up being political. It is possible to have discussion like this and not have any issues. For over 4 pages the thread was fine.
If it actually got out of hand, then it should be locked. If not, I don't see the problem with it.
Also if it did get out of hand, why am I the one to get warned, what did I do? I didn't de-rail the thread and make it political.
