Is there are reason this troll thread with no link to said supposed quote is not locked?

I figured since I'm stirring the pot today I might as well give you guys a head's up on yet another example of what I've been talking about.

We discussed a similar thread with Derek and he came to the conclusion that they should be allowed

So you don't have to have a link? You can just claim someone said something?

That rule is about starting a thread and just posting links in the OP without your own commentary.

To keep P&N a discussion forum and reduce the amount of inflamatory troll posts, please post more than simple 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,

Ah, so it's ok to just post random "news" without a link like the one pointed out? Where is the info to back up the OP's claim about the person who is supposedly hitler?

I totally understand your confusion Martin. I will PM Derek myself with a link to this thread so he can explain it to you in his own words.

Are threads about spam mail allowed now too? I'm not complaining if it is, I'd just like to know because I have some threads that I'd like to start about spam mail as well.

New one. I sure hope we get the new software since it'll solve all the problems?

So you want us to censor them because you don't like what they have to say? Not going to happen buddy
