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. [/quote]Mind as to why. Most people get tired of having to repeat themselves when someone asks a question, but they just don't like the answer. [quote]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] You have no idea how nice it was to see you answer that. Really, I don't know why, but I feel like the idea that someone can avoid responsibility if they didn't think something through, is a growing trend, and thankfully not everyone agrees with that trend. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 Life is a highway, ken, and I'm gonna drive it (all night long). You should, too.[/quote]Just earned some cool points. Now for my own input. Beyond what anyone else has said, I would have done the same thing. Warning or message, really doesn't matter to me. The only thing it does is effect your title, which it obviously didn't in your case, so either way its no reason to create a thread about it. And on that note, isn't creating threads about your own locked thread somewhere else a bannable offense? Or is the a mod digression? Serious question here. [Edited on 09.30.2012 1:06 PM PDT]
