The poll is over and it appears that "free for all" is the winning opinion. What does this mean? Well, nothing, really.

IMHO, the object of the poll was not to set some sort of editorial policy. If anything that's up to Robert.

No, the purpose was to get everyone thinking about what is and what is not appropriate. Politics are definitely off-topic. Is it allowed, well, yes, as long as everyone more or less behaves themselves, and continues to exercise a modicum of restraint, civility and mutual respect (or at least tolerance). Our moderation policy is pretty light-handed. Our biggest goal is enforcing the reorganization of the few old forum topics into the many new forum topics. This too, has ruffled some feathers but I think you'll see in the long run it's for the better.

As always, if you disagree, feel free to contact the boss. I'm only following his orders in the first place.

"Thank you for your support."
