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] spawn031 It's like getting pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt, then your driver gets arrested for being under the influence. Even though YOU are perfectly fine, you are in the situation. 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.[/quote] You're not "lucky", you got punished for doing what you did, not wearing your seat belt. Your analogy is confusing.
