I've read a few threads in here today that were locked and it seems as though they were locked because of political or religous views. Well if you are going to lock down threads because they may be controversial then should you do the same with controversial images? People can leave negative comments on those too. I understand that both religion and politics are powderkegs but why lock them down so quickly? I feel almost like the posters to these threads are treated like children and get time outs. I'm not blasting Renderosity here but I'm just trying to figure out why it's okay to post controversial images but not text. Why isn't there an OT forum on these boards, then people can argue all they want to about certain topics and then when personal attacks start then the posters could be warned that they could be banned. Wouldn't that be a better idea then just locking certain threads down? This does work on other boards.
