I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Funniest thread I've seen in a while.

Okay but lets say in this case it is a flame war. If the OP of a thread did not make a thread to spark a flame war and someone else did, why should they be punished for it?

Also why should people be punished if nothing happened? Why not just lock the thread?
Usually if there's a flame war it's because of the topic the OP chose. Of course, it really depends on the situation.

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?

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.

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

Why can't people keep this between themselves and the mods? PM's exist for a RAISON. I don't care if you were banned or warned, don't bring this drama to the mains. You're lucky you got away with a warning. I don't understand how you thought that thread wouldn't get out of hand.


Yeah but it never did, it was locked and I was warned on assumptions.

I don't think it is good policy to lock threads and mods harass people if nothing is happening.

- 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.

Debatable

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.

Yes it is true. It's also true about what you said.

...

and this is why the thread was locked.

This thread is an overreaction to a minor warning...

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. This goes back to my first response where usually it's the subject that the OP chose.

It seems we will soon be going in circles, so this thread is locked. As you know, if y have a problem with a moderators decision, PM that moderator and try to discuss it in a civil manner. Creating a thread about the incident isn't the best way to go about things.

Locked.
