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

Usually if there's a flame war it's because of the topic the OP chose. Of course, it really depends on the situation.
- Not true, there are trolls who can quickly de-rail a thread. Happens all the time on the Flood, usually it is not the OPs fault unless he baited it, I am not talking about those people.
As for your warning, your first few posts in that thread were talking about what political party paid Microsoft to have this promotion. How is your thread not political?
Debatable
Intent doesn't mean you're automatically off the hook or what you did wasn't wrong. Some of the most terrible things have beeñ done with the best intentions.
True, but just because a thread has political ties does not mean it is about politics. I think this incident was an overreaction because debate was mentioned. Clearly the thread was an example how even though something is related to politics, it can not result in a flame war.
A thread can have political elements and still not be about politics.
The whole rule about politics need to be revised. There are many times politics, government, laws, etc can be part of a topic and not be a focus.
Oh and as for flame wars, I don't think mods should lock threads unless it looks like one was gonna happen. And, it shouldn't be the OPs fault if people start fighting in the thread.
