Well, I can kind of see your point, but only in relation to silly topics. Unecessary war topics should be deleted as unecessary normal music ones. But if we are confined to using existing threads then people new to a thread, or anyone who's not read it in the last hour even, will have to trawl through hundreds of posts to get an idea of what is being discussed. New topics with 100+ posts put me off. But then that might be the point. |

Again, to re-iterate... this is not an attempt to hush up the war. I accept people want to discuss it here. I asked that it was kept to the existing threads, that's all! |

I think I understand ceri some of us love football: do we start thousands of threads on this subject? no, we just post about it in one thread (this summer was in the huge world cup results) woofer, tolstoyed, and many others know that if they want to know about the last football news they will see it in that thread... nice football talks there |

Yes, that hit the nail on the head exactly! Look at the world cup or Star wars threads- both running into the 1000s of posts. If those had been spread 10 messages to a thread (like some of the war ones) that'd be 100 threads within a month (more on the star wars ones). Whilst a lot of people here are into star wars and want to discuss it, they accept that not everyone wants to have to search through scores of threads to find something un-star wars related and as a result no one ever had a problem with it. |

ok point taken about the thread btw the way is a bit of mess to decipher at this point as there are many prongs to the war debate However I have never seen any topics banned on Sept 11 yet Flea's ancestors hail from Afghanistan which was talked about...bombed heavily and is occupied by the US/UK etc and the civilians dehumanised. The remark made by Steve Martin summed up American sentiment stating that Afghanistan had put out a film about a camel - no more than a racial slur I see by banning Flea for his approach to the topic, I warned him not to post those two Prowar and Antiwar topics but he felt strongly that the existing thread was not titled that so would get lost and hard to recover. I see this also is being insensitive to him being the Middle Eastern contributor to the board who has been exposed to the experince of tanks monitoring political groups on campus at Uni in Pakistan and I believe he has deep concern about what is unfolding in Iraq and wishes to discuss his feelings on the issues that are confronting us. Pantalaimon attacked him and then ran off like the coward he is stating his view and then suggesting a ban, then returning to post prowar opinions on the thread after stating his wish to stop all war topics. If anything for his shit stirring conduct which I encountered with his slanderous remarks I think a ban should be imposed on him. So how about it then Ceri I think you should unban flea, he is offended by your actions which I find totally unfair and unbased |

We also want to avoid a situation such as exists on the SuicideGirls.com boards, where you get flamed like crazy for starting a new topic on something that's already been discussed, no matter how long ago. |

Firstly, he only has a temporary ban... I think that anyone who saw those two topics he mad would agree that he was asking for it. I know Flea is of afghan descent and I understand how strongly he feels about it, but when I asked him specifically not to create new topics I saw those two topics as being given the finger. As much as it pained me to ban it, it would of been unfair not to after I had banned other people for going against warnings. I can't make exceptions jsut because Flea is my friend. Again, to emphasise ***My decision had nothing to do with pantalaimon's request***. |

Decisions...decisions....decisions..... .....rather you be a moderator than me, I wouldn't want to have done that....as a friend I hope Flea forgives you! |

I doubt Flea will hold a grudge, Ceri gave him plenty of warning and made it all very clear. It's a tough situation, but I like the soccer (ahem... football) and Star Wars analogy. A new topic isn't needed everytime a US plane drops a bomb on somebody accidentally... that seemingly happens every hour. I stand behind Mr. PurplePants' decision. |

What about threads on WARP? You cant spell WARP without WAR? And are Star Wars threads going to be banned as well? |

i don't understand the point of closing topics. if a topic gets multiple replies, obviously people feel a need to discuss/argue topic and you should let it be. don't read it if you don't like. at the end of the day this is a message board for folks who have similar music tastes... it's obviously not a strict music discussion board. |

i think MOST people would agree with you, i do |
||||||||
|

|

exactly i have always thought the same thing. With maybe an exception for threads where people get flamed and/or really badly insulted. Banning people is one thing, but closing threads... |

I think he's on to us Nac!! :P |
