Re: Mephisto
Not really. Just a change in location.

Yes really. It is a radical change from the policy of leaving OT threads where they were created and not interfering (unless things go sour), irregardless of the number of times such a topic was discussed in the past (Iraq war threads, anyone?).
The thread creator did not want to discuss the issue with the small number of Users that visit the Shrapnel General Category, but with the people that visit the SE4 Category. In the past, such wishes were respected.

Re: Mephisto
It's not a problem for me. Most OT threads belong in a general Category anyways - and on 99% of forums they are.

The problem with that is that by the very nature of these forums, each Category tends to be an entirely separate community... Often, people only wish to discuss an issue with members of a particular community, not everyone that browses Shrapnel Intel Forums. Most people just set a particular Category as their bookmark, and skip the rest of the forums entirely. This is why the Shrapnel General Category is very rarely used...

Re: Mephisto
That's likely true Fyron...
I'm just saying that there is nothing wrong with them wanting to move true OT threads to a general forum. I'd do the same if I had a set of forums. I think Shrapnel was just lax about it in the past, and if they want to keep on top of it more now then that's their perogitive.
If those topics interested you, just drop by the general forum from time to time.

Re: Mephisto
Seems like nobody gets my point here (maybe I need to work a bit on my communication skills  ).
If Shrapnel wants an off-topic free forum, thats their prerogative. It will be boring, and maybe a bit suicidal as many of the regular contributors (like me) won't bother to check in very often. But it's their choice.
A censored forum however, is different. Even if posting something political on a game forum is not a big issue, it has become an integral part of the freedoms I value.
So, Please.
Could any Shrapnel personel or one of the Moderators answer this simple question: Is the moving of the election thread a glitch, or is this a policy decission ?
And if its a glitch, please move it back.
