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.

Very good points Primitive. I bump your post in the hope that we see an answer....

I already answered it. No one ever said "Do not post OT" and no one ever said "we will censor opinions".
We always said that occassional, interesting, (friendly) OTs are what make a community worth visiting.
This has always been the SEIV forum and the Shrapnel.General has always been the "discuss other subjects here" forum.
We always said that some subjects will be deleted but more in the area of their tone or legality than for subject matter. Dont confuse the actions for one reason to reflect on the other.
We also said that a moderator can moderate forums with the ability to delete, edit, lock, or move a thread (with a recommendation that moving a thread is best).
From the looks of the thread that was moved I almost got the impression that it was moved to allow it to become a more heated discussion than OTs tend to be in SEIV
