LEGO Message Boards Wiki talk:New Policy

"Suggestive Discussion"
This is really still here? -_- "No religious, political, or suggestive discussions whatsoever are allowed in public chat. Religious and political discussions are allowed in private messages, as long as they do not get out of hand or offend any users." Once again, I raise the point that such debates can be perfectly fine when they don't lead to trouble. And I can think of many instances for which this has been the case. Instead of taking a neutral point of view and allowing for non-troublesome discussion, the policy has decided to be entirely intolerant of any religious or political views for the assumption that they always will lead to trouble. It is true that political and religious debates tend to escalate faster than most others, but that is no reason to establish that they undoubtedly will escalate, and thus prohibit them altogether. This rule is therefore hindering the very purpose of chat, which is to verbally connect with other users in a civil fashion.

Also, administration has no control over private messages whatsoever, and accordingly should not attempt to regulate them at all. That's a clear invasion of privacy. If someone becomes trouble in a private message, the recipient has every right to speak up and ask for a moderator to take action. For all the moderators should care, it could be a full-blown debate; but unless foul play is reported, it's none of their business. - maestro35 ♫  Talk
