    Alright, I think it's time to start being more stict on political discussions. You should start closing topics that are polls or threads asking for comments about Bush and the war. It always goes the same -- someone asks if we think Bush is a good leader/should we be in iraq, and all that happens is many -reps get thrown around and it turns into a huge argument that gets no where. Im not saying that political discussion should be banned alltogether -- just the topics created looking for an argument.

    you could make it so that the people that give the -reps get like suspended, and get rep capabilities taken away from them... it would all work the same way...

    Well thought out discussions are a rarity, but they're refreshing when someone has a differing opinion and can back it up with intelligence.

    Pointless and baseless flaming is just a waste of space in the forums, and it only serves to irritate those of us who have a point to make.


    *tosses two cents onto the table*

    That's my two cents.

    Well I'm not sure if this is pointed towards me but w.e. you are right although people who -rep are just immature. These threads aren't actually meant to be arguments but debates yet somehow people take what other people say wrongingly therefore through lack of communication arguments start.

    Pointless topics, and spamming, flaming all get closed when a mod sees them. Like this topic here.... thanks for the advice, but I think we got that covered.
