Re: Mephisto
Did not Richard resolve the OT threads issue by stating that Shrapnel's policy on them had not changed, and would not be changing?

Re: Mephisto
It's technically not censorship, since the thread hasn't been locked or deleted. It's simply been moved to a "free speech zone".

Re: Mephisto
Not really. Just a change in location.

Yes really. It is a radical change from the policy of leaving OT threads where they were created and not interfering (unless things go sour), irregardless of the number of times such a topic was discussed in the past (Iraq war threads, anyone?).
The thread creator did not want to discuss the issue with the small number of Users that visit the Shrapnel General Category, but with the people that visit the SE4 Category. In the past, such wishes were respected.

LOL, more like a view-free zone.
It's kinda ironic that a tread taking up minor details like freedom should be censored.
Anyway, I liked the mix of Posts in the forum. Some game related, some pure fun and some serious. Taking away the serious threads makes this forum much less interesting. If someone is bored of a topic, just skip reading it. Easy as a Drushoka filly during mating season

Re: Mephisto
Hi all!
I’m sorry if I have troubled you by moving the thread to the general discussion area. Since there is a “Ghost” left in the SEIV forum I never thought this would create such an uproar as everybody is just a click away from the discussion. Ah well, next time I remember.
About censorship: It was never intended as any sort of censorship in any way. Feel free to post everything you want as long as it is kept civil.

Re: Mephisto
About different forums: there have been never any complains that SEIV  ata/Sound/Graphic and SEIV:AIRaces/ShipSets forums are located in different section. With upload feature working now, you have to check 2 forums, if you're really interested in se4 subjects of course.
About OTs: some of them funny or interesting, some of them not (most of them for me). They make this forum more humanistic and live, but I won't miss them (usually I have enough OT debates with my friends, but no se4 related discussions in RL, that's the reason).
PS: you can try to workaround this policy rule by making tread "PBW Galactic Elections 2404: King Bush vs Cancellor Kerry" and appeal to the fact that subjuct is directly related to SE4
