you guys got to stop being so politicaly correct all the time. This is a frigging forum where people should discuss their beliefs and opions. If an argue is created then i dont see a reason to close a thread. Who cares. Like c'mon, this shouldn't be a place witha sever list of rules that have to be followed to the letter. And your closing threads because they drift off subject. Why not leave them open and let people continue posting or else your going to have a dead forum. or you can at least them open and ask that you return to the subject...Basicly im trying to say 2 things: Calm down and get over it.

Because there is a differnce between debate and arguement.. a debate over paranormal or philosphical issues are fine if in the topic that is being discussed. Go to far off topic and the whole site loses its focus.. the focus is a paranormal board discussing paranormal issues not for bitching about how much other people may or may not suck (Dracula excluded  ). Discussions for non paranormal related issues should be kept in the special forums set up for that purpose like Off Topic or general. A bit of mild banter is great and fun but this is a paranormal board. Im sorry if Im treading on any of the mods or admins toes for posting this but its hoew I feel  |

It's alright. That's somewhat how I would have said it. Lotu, you know very well that such spams are kept to General topic or Off-topic. We need rules and boundaries or else the site would be hay-wire. The Admins need some form of rules to lean on. Without them, it would not be a paranormal site anymore.. it'd be a free for all.. sometimes, that is good but we cannot have that in every single thread or we wouldn't get anywhere with it. We close some threads because we feel that is the better thing to do. Some things are better off to just accept.. such as the staff closing certain threads or not.

I'm almost definitely sure that you're reffering to the thread I closed for Freya. Honestly, I don't like sitting here and explaining to you why I did it in front of everyone, but let's put it to you this way: that thread had become an argument, otherwise known as a flame. Why was it closed? Because it was no longer on the thread's topic. Why do we close threads that get off topic? Because threads that are off topic no longer contain useful information past the deviation from the topic. If you want to start talking about something else, other than the topic at hand, start a new topic.
Starting threads with "Breath kiddies, breath!" as a header is no way to be talking to people that bring you this site and forum, free of charge.
This is your final warning about being disrespectful towards all members of this board. Your attitude to "bitch and get people going" has gone far enough. We're not here to fight, so learn to get along or go elsewhere.
