ok. before i get started, first let me say thanks to locutus and smoko for the patience you have both shown thus far.
the 'atheism and religion' thread was recently closed. the reason given was that it had gone off-topic. this is the second time a civ4-'religion' thread has been closed without warning.
parts of the discussion were, without question, well off-topic and i readily confess to being one of the main offenders. however, i was under the impression that such problems were to be dealt with by an initial warning. then, if the problem continued mods would take action at their discretion.
leaving aside the 'definitions and method' trash-talk engaged in by mb and myself, there were other parts of the thread that i personally felt were still very much worthwhile and continued to generate interest among other posters. in particular, there was the discussion between mxm and nbarclay about 'freedom of religion' vs 'secularism.' again, parts of the discussion were getting a bit o.t., but it was, broadly civ-related.
fair enough, the decision about what is, or is not o.t. is subject to the moderators' discretion, but surely we can maintain some basic standards about how such matters should be dealt with.
having the mods just drop in half way through a discussion and close the whole thread without warning , well it's like i'm back in a
theocratic police state!!!
can we please maintain some basic standards here?
