Should the following threads be moved to shrapnel general

[OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation.

[OT] Captured Troops

Debate on North Korea.

Should all future topics related to war be moved to Shrapnel General

The reason why I post this is because only a few people are taking part in these dicussions and perhaps they should be in the general section

Personally, I really do not see a problem.

Maybe a quarter of the threads have little or no relationship to the game.

Yet they persevere. And some have quite a following.

Technically, they should all be removed. Yet, they seem to serve a social purpose in that the participants get to know each other.

Moving the threads to the general forum will just kill them off.

Banning all threads about things that really matter from the SEIV forum is nothing less than censorship.

We all have free will and can skip those threads we don't want to read.

I don't follow any of the threads. It does not bother me that they are there.

I don't see the need to move the threads, the best way to discourage threads like that is not to participate. If the threads are generating interest and getting lost of Posts, then the threads obviously serve a pourpos.

Consider this a pennies worth of thought!

Cheers!

Theoretically, yes.

Practically, it would be easier to just post a link to the threads here, and you wouldn't need to bump it ever 2 hours to keep it on the front page.
