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] spartain ken 15 I believe the OP should not be responsible for the actions of others in a thread if the intent of the thread was not to break any rules. [/quote] "My friends are drunk driving and I'm sober, can I get arrested?" Stop playing in the grey area, consequences are inbound. Every single time you make a post, you take a risk. Welcome to online forums. It's up to the discretion of moderators and the web-team of your post and intent of your post. There are strict rules in play about political and religious discussion specifically. The line for those are black and white, just avoid the situation and you're all clear kid. It's like being in the backseat of a car and your driver gets pulled over for no seatbelt and intoxicated. Even though you are perfectly fine, you are in the situation. The cop will most likely have a word with you (warning). You created that scenario for yourself. You could have simply not gone in the car. I'd say you're lucky for only getting a warning.
