There was a thread I made that got moved out of Serious and I'm still bothered about that because I feel like I can't bump it back up since it's in the Flood now, so I ended up just asking for a lock. Psy said it's one of those things that's kind of grey area I guess.

I'm not liking the new changes, they are very limiting to what can go there.I'd like to see Serious go back the way it was before. Obvious bait threads get kicked out.No shitposting, none of that.
So what exactly are the changes to the Serious board you're going to be making some time tomorrow that Mr P had mentioned?
But IcyWind and Mr P think it's dangerous and open minded (they see open-mindedness as a bad thing) to allow people to discuss certain political stances with the sole reason being that they get offended at it. If I were to make a thread advocating against gay marriage, it would get locked because the those two staff members do not know how to ethically and fairly run the Serious board. They think the whole Serious board revolves around themselves and their feelings.

But you still blatantly told me that it was 'illegal' to discuss a certain topic because of its offensiveness it has on you.

Where was this alleged statement, Dustin?I think it was the thread Meta made about how liberals are close minded. You and Mr P said that I'm not allowed to make a thread on homosexual genocide.

It wouldn't have gone in Serious under the trial rules2.) If you can honestly discuss it seriously, fine. Talk about how we should murder all the gays. That doesn't mean you simply go find some backwater internet source that's from 2002 and try to present it as concrete evidence. Shit like that gets it locked and/or moved.Why can't I use God and Science as a source? What's wrong with Christian conservative citations?

Back it up with something that isn't as biased to support your viewpoint then.So if I made a thread arguing in favor of homeopathy and I used biased sources it would get locked? Isn't it a bias as to when to consider something biased?
Bias. If you want to use that shit, sure. Back it up with something that isn't as biased to support your viewpoint then.
