I vote to keep political discussions under those guidelines...

I think we should ban Reign for being a communist and wanting to control what we can talk about.

yes it has been suggested, so has creating a sumforum for this kind of thing. if that were the case, there would need to be just to deal with each infraction individually (like how they do EVERYWHERE else)

on a serious note. How about if you don't want to read it or talk about it.............. DONT CLICK ON THOSE THREADS!!!!!!!!!!

Why does a governing body have to take control over it and waste their time on it, Why doesn't everyone just make their own choice, click or don't click. Its that simple.

reign think about it-

1) make new subforum
2) deal with this **** the same way you do every other thread, individually

A subforum isn't going to stop the problems, only encourage more threads which will create more problems.

I just quoted a quote playing a quote disquised as another quote.

Reign, of course the moderators are gonna vote against it. Because you guys think your gonna have to clean it up.

I say we allow it, but whoever makes it go out of control will get banned. It will weed out alot of people who have needed to be weeded out for a long time.

Meh, I hate how our government works. Basically you have free speech, but if you go somewhere, they might have the right to disallow you to talk about whatever you want. Its like The Truman Show. He had the right to do whatever he wanted, because of democracy , but he was contained to his options because of his bubble.

We don't all have to like each other here. And we shouldn't have to drink the Kool-aid.

If I think someone's an idiot, it's nice to see what others have to say about it.
Honestly, this is the absolute truth. I've been here quite awhile and that is why I keep coming back to this forum over all others...
