Should you be in trouble for unintended events?

Political discussion is prohibited, Ken. Please do not start threads that are near-certain turn into political discussion[/quote]
The thread in question was about how Microsoft was getting people to watch a stream of a debate by giving away armor.
The thread itself was not intended to be political, it was about the promotion. The thread also never went into a political debate nor went off-topic.
Can you punish people for a thread potentially doing something while never doing it? Also if the thread did turn into a political debate but never was intended to be, why should the OP be punished for it?
Just because something his ties to politics does not mean it is a thread about politics.
(Now I understand the reasoning of the mod, but I still feel that punishing the OP for something that never happened is silly)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] evilcam Alright, let's all dial it back a bit. This is becoming heated, and its simply not worth even that potentiality. OT: Your thread was locked because it was inherently political. Whomever locked it doesn't care about your intent, it was about events ancillary to an election, which is inherently political. Repeating that you don't think it was political and that "it was fine" won't change that. In fact, if all this thread is just complaining about a locked thread, I'm going to lock this one. You can complain about policy or general action, but not about a specific locked thread. So, get back on the policy aspect, stop connecting it to a single thread, or this is gone. Should a user be potentially punished for unintended consequences? My answer, hell yes. That potentiality for punishment should always be on the table. It should be at the ninja's discretion to lay it on that user though. Which, of course, it is. [/quote] Okay but lets say in this case it is a flame war. If the OP of a thread did not make a thread to spark a flame war and someone else did, why should they be punished for it? Also why should people be punished if nothing happened? Why not just lock the thread?
