edit; ahhh, well if you think you have to whack someone that's up to you, but I still think the arbitrary removal of threads is the wrong way to go about things.
Are we going to continue this fucking stupid shit? There's a game on and people are most interested in continuously talking about this trash.
It's a shame that we lost a very good poster over this when a simple explanation would have avoided it.
If the mods want to shift sociopolitical and current event oriented discussions to the OT forum....then how about some warning? Also, as is done my mods on other forums I have frequented, threads get moved....not deleted. You delete threads and that's censorship and a surefire way to drive down traffic. You want to shape content, the current strategy was poorly thought out. Would have been better to say, hey folks we created a robust OT subforum here: http://www.sportstwo.com/forums/off-topic.6/ We're going to shift non-BB topics here.....etc.
