The ones that get locked are the ones that touch on subjects that aren't utterly mundane and so people actually have a viewpoint and voice it which inevitably turns into a debate.

ok two things.

1) your signature is too big. change it please.

2) your opinion is more than welcome on photo related topics and anything that doesnt spark a rude debate.Other than that, we dont want to hear it.

And the people that like to instigate in any thread possible are the ones that eventually find themselves banned.

1. I will of course change it but I don't see how it's too big. Its probably only 30 pixels taller than yours. Width doesn't matter as it doesn't effect scrolling down the page.

2. Ok fine. My statment wasn't meant to hint about anything. I was just saying it how I see it happen.

1. It helps if you read the rules about signature guidelines: Here they are in case you missed the sticky at the top of the off topic section.

Rule of thumb when dealing with someone elses website/game server.
They own it, they by it, they rule it.
Dont tell the hand that feeds you to change how it feeds you, or it may decide not to bother...

I go to a couple other forums where debates go on all the time. I have only seen one or two be locked in a couple years. You know why? Because people know how to debate and not tick off everyone. I think its sad that the mods dont let any political threads go on in here. Seems like a stab to the "free speach" ammendment.

How ever, from seeing the past couple days the political threads that have surfaced, I dont blame them for not allowing it. It so quickly turns into name calling and throwing daggers to make your point. I think the mods might agree with me that political threads would be ok if everyone learned how to be involved in them the rite way. State your opinion in a way that isnt a direct blow to a specific person. If you make a generalization back it up. And if the generalization is about you, and it hurts a little, suck it up! Seems like the majority of people have a good throwing arm, but sure cant take the blows them self. If you are going to give it, be able to take it!

Again, I think its sad that there are things you arent allowed to talk about in here. But I think the mods are doing a great job of trying to do crowd controll.

This may seem a bit harsh but, if you want to talk politics, do a search on google for political talk forum and don't bring it up here.
