You can't even spell ban correctly.

Let's not lift the ban, because then this place will turn into gamefaqs. People think debating clones in Melee and whether it was rushed or not, just wait until you open up this can of worms.

Yeah, how about we don't do that. Political discussions bring out the worst in people, and in the end of it all people just agree to disagree which got you no place further than where you started.

Not to mention the fact that it can get personal REALLY fast. The thing with video game debates is that they rarely get personal and ends with the topic. Political/Religious discussions end with a lot of bad blood between people.

Maybe because some of us are trying to keep it in the spirit of the fun house? We've had other discussions as well that turned out nasty and got the thread closed.

Oh comon. The 'funhouse' responses are teh rudest.

Yeah, keep the politics in the funhouse. I don't think it needs to go into other areas of the site.

Well, I guess it's a good thing we still have the ban.  I try a simple poll just to see who people are voting for and before the day is up, GP is spewing crap from her mouth about Nazi's and the Klan.

Political Bans for all.

The funny thing is that no one even bothered paying attention to that statement until you quoted it and made it an issue.  But I am willing to bet you knew what would happen, heck it was starting to unravel long before I posted.

How about a secret, members only political forum?

I'm tired of people bringing up political talk, then the topic getting locked down before someone gets to make their point.

Better yet, how about making the funhouse members only (to view and post) but "no rules" (outside of common courtsey and such)?

Golden Pheonix, gamefaqs banned me for ASKING if it was possible to download your DVD's to your Xbox and then the losers went into a big rant about supporting game developers and told me discussions about "bootlegging" is off limits. They are not a good example of a good forum.

I think we do need to keep politics off limits, because knowing how easily some of use get worked up over video game issues would indicate that we would get ten times as worked up over politics. That and some of us are going to align our political views with religious views and religious discussions need to be off limits also cuz that only turns people into name calling hot heads. (do a search for shawnster for proof)

Stop bashing Gamefaqs, I show the utmost love for Gamefaqs.

So i was right. The pacific ocean IS the greatest superpower on earth.

I expected to be shot down for that.

Someone suggested making the funhouse like private or something, but wouldn't that prevent the spiders from finding it? There goes all our hard work trying to manipulate the google ranks.

Solution: Manipulate the google ranks in other areas. Have a weekly buttered camels podcast. Discuss your disdain at the recent buttered camel game. Be creative about it, for pete's sake.

I will send a surprise to whoever makes a reference or comment to buttered camel in a non-podcast on the main pages.
