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)

Why should someone be punished for something that "are near certain turn into political discussion"? Is it political discussion or isn't it? Mentioning a political figure isn't isn't political discussion if they aren't being talked about in a political context. Discussing Xbox Live rewards isn't political. Simply mentioning "watching the debate" isn't political. Seriously, a rule is something we're supposed to be able to follow. Not some string of nonsense words that don't mean anything. Whoever warned you for this didn't think that through.
