I gave the issue a lot of thought last night. And I concluded that even though this is a game forum, the community has evolved into one that is very social with discussions covering a wide variety of things - when you get to know people on a forum, you will get to know their opinions on quite a lot of things.

My initial thought was similar to yours but I weighed a blanket ban against past community discussions in regards to the 3 topics:

Race: recent discussion about the need for diversity in the game

Religion: posts sending out prayers, asking for prayers

Politics/Current Affairs: the discussion of the shotgun in House of Toys as well as past discussions regarding the President

For now, I decided to trust in the community to follow the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines and keep controversial discussions civil and to a minimum to avoid offending others. Or use the Live! Chat if they want to discuss such things fully.

The situation is monitored and will be revisited should the need arise.
