Dear Bungie, I doth have a request.
As we all know the elections are drawing near and inevitably political threads will start to spread like wild fire. With such an important decision coming up on November 6th (vote or get Halo 4). Could we have one thread dedicated to political discussion? people want to talk about it and with one thread dedicated to the election, it would keep the fire at bay.
This is just an idea, but I thought I'd share it

On election day, how many political do you estimate get locked that day?

So there is nothing we can do for the actual election day? I know politics are banned here, but seeing as this is such an important election, we can't even have a poll of who we voted for?

I voted for Nader! I hate everyone!

Politics discussed in an internet setting never go well.

Political discussion can't be had here on B.net. 1/2 of the patrons here aren't old enough to vote, 7/16 of the folks have the same opinion and only 1/16 are willing to have a conversation not a confrontations. It'll never work. As for what the oP said: But to the ones that can vote, no mater what your opinion is, don't only pick up Halo 4. Do both!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] T1d3 [b][u]people want to talk about it[/b][/u] and with one thread dedicated to the election, it would keep the fire at bay. [/quote] While I agree that people want to talk about it, I don't think it's a good idea to change the forum rules and allow political discussion. Why? Well, because quite frankly - while many like to discuss politics and the election - many are absolutely [i]incapable[/i] of respecting others' political opinions and the hate comments come pouring in. No, I say leave politics out of Bnet. This is also just my opinion... but I believe the rule is in place for a reason. :)
