Pyro's new rules
« on: October 06, 2008, 10:05:16 AM »
With religion, race, and politics off the table I see a good half of the o'club never posting again.  This will be interesting to watch.

May as well add posts on the economy to the list as this is invariably tied to politics.

I enjoy discussing politics, religion, race, the economy and history (which of course involves all of these).  If these topics are no longer allowed, then I have nothing to discuss.  Discussion on teddy bears or porn just isn't that interesting to me.

So....  before I even got to know most folks here I am saying goodbye.   :(

You think so? I think that folks who are bitter enough to name call will resort to that regardless of what the topic is.  Now it just becomes bitter name calling over what kind of vehicles one another drives instead of which candidate they support.

Well seeing how all conversations involving race, religion, or politics in here degenerates into nasty "no your a poopface" type convo's.  I'm not surprised by this move in the least.

You might be right.  But in political threads in here, people tend to just attack each other for being a Dumbocrat or Republitard.

Civil discussion and politics are like oil and water.

Its far wiser to be proactive than reactive.  HTC could have easily restored some decency by PNG'ing the few who consistently troll rather than debate.  Having some fun is one thing but there are a few turds that simply need to be flushed.  Going this far overboard will cut down on the discord but will also significantly hamper the community that they built as well as revenue.  Like other successful games, the core value of this one is the community that revolves around it.
