My Iran thread

[The Scientist]

It provided a thread to discuss the topic without preconcieved rules, WHAT was wrong with that, do we always have to have someone spouting of flamebait to start a new thread?

The NEF is strong with this one... As stated in the thread "Nice to see you here new-guy, but you need to post an opinion...and content!" If you don't like the rules, go post somewhere else.

Who were you before the ban?

The thing to discuss is quite simple to understand, can't you just throw it out there without a pre-concieved opinion which WILL steer the discussion?

Honestly, if you can't then every thread in this P&N forum is steered in the direction of the OP and honestly that is not how it usually works.

And as far as i know i have not been banned.

In an effort to keep P&N a discussion forum and reduce the amount of inflamatory troll posts, we are asking members to do more than simply post links or complete quotes of articles that can be found by anyone. If you believe something is important enough to post, you must have some opinion of your own about the content of the article or link.

We understand this cannot be a hard and fast rule. It is possible to state an opinion in the Title or Topic Summary of your post, but unless an article is of sufficiently earth shaking importance, simply posting the title or headline of an article would probably not be sufficient.

We will try our best to be fair and understanding when deciding whether to lock a thread for this reason. Please help us maintain a high level of discussions on this forum.

Thank you,

======================================

That's the rule. It was meant to stop people from posting Articles ad nauseum without any kind of comment. Technically I don't think the thread in question contravened that rule, since no links or article quotes existed. Perhaps the rule should be written more clearly, if that was why the thread was Locked.
