    Re: Let me make something clear.

    Tokzic hit the nail on the head.

    And Sprite-, I wish someone would make a CT thread about the election. I want to debate it with some people without the thread kissing it's ass goodbye before the start.

      Excuse me? The name of a person's account has almost no relevance as to their intelligence or what they could possibly bring into the discussion at hand.

        Not true.

        I've changed my political stance. I used to think Dems were dandy and socialism was great. Now I'm a right-leaning libertarian of sorts.

        That said, I can totally get behind the idea of not allowing politics threads. Most of you kids don't know anything and don't know how to discuss things reasonably. Also, folks like me troll the opposing side, so that's no good.

            Oh dear, simple rules have had to have a sticky.

                I see no reason to go against the judgement of the forum moderators.
                Hail the mods.

                        Unfortunately on ffr moderators can do whatever they want and you have no authority to question it.

                        Just don't make stupid threads I suppose. Ironically this thread has turned quite stupid.

                          So far every presidential thread has done this. Putting it in Critical Thinking will just cause a much bigger flame war than could be possible in Chit Chat/TGB. Also I came up with that metaphor. ;_;

                            This really is getting nowhere.

                            If anything, it's just turning into a conversation with Squeek and Phynx.

                            Phynx, PM Squeek and and just try to prove him wrong.

                            Everyone else, I don't think Squeek is abusing his power. He's just doing what he feels is right to do, which is mostly locking threads that he knows will go nowhere and/or are pointless to exist. Also, he's keeping CC or any other forum here free of mindless crap and/or wastes of time, from what I've read.

                            Quit complaining.

                              Ok, you fail at white text. Also, CT rules bar flaming more than regular forum rules. So... Yeah.

                                Ohhhhhh. Okay.


                                More seriously, I know I haven't been on the forums for long so I don't have much perspective, but I do find it kind of annoying when a relatively recently created thread about something I might want to talk about is locked. I'm sure that it is common for threads about politics and moral issues to devolve into flaming, but I see that as the fault of the people who start the flames and keep them going rather than the fault of the person who wanted to discuss the topic in the first place. Excepting trolls, people don't create topics about politics/religion because they WANT them to become flamewars. I think you'd see much better discussions if you gave out short bans to the people who ruin discussions, rather than just close the topics of discussions that end up ruined.
