Should you be in trouble for unintended events?

[quote]9/30/2012 3:45 AM: [REDACTED][1848159] sent a warning to this user. Warning Text: You have been sent a warning from [REDACTED] This warning's text is below: A Bungie.net Forum Moderator has warned you for violating the code of conduct and/or rules of the forum in the thread below. Further violations will likely result in a ban. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=75030807 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) [Edited on 09.30.2012 11:58 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Duardo Usually if there's a flame war it's because of the topic the OP chose. Of course, it really depends on the situation.[/quote] - Not true, there are trolls who can quickly de-rail a thread. Happens all the time on the Flood, usually it is not the OPs fault unless he baited it, I am not talking about those people. [/quote]Yes it is true. It's also true about what you said. [quote] [quote] As for your warning, your first few posts in that thread were talking about what political party paid Microsoft to have this promotion. How is your thread not political?[/quote] Debatable [/quote]... and this is why the thread was locked. [quote] [quote] Intent doesn't mean you're automatically off the hook or what you did wasn't wrong. Some of the most terrible things have beeñ done with the best intentions.[/quote] True, but just because a thread has political ties does not mean it is about politics. I think this incident was an overreaction because debate was mentioned. [/quote]This thread is an overreaction to a minor warning... [Quote]Oh and as for flame wars, I don't think mods should lock threads unless it looks like one was gonna happen. And, it shouldn't be the OPs fault if people start fighting in the thread. [/quote]This goes back to my first response where usually it's the subject that the OP chose. It seems we will soon be going in circles, so this thread is locked. As you know, if y have a problem with a moderators decision, PM that moderator and try to discuss it in a civil manner. Creating a thread about the incident isn't the best way to go about things. Locked.
