| I propose that the Forum rules that outlaw discussion of Religion or Politics
should be lifted in times of
"Extreme discourse".
We could have a pre-set background colour change as the discourse becomes more
extreme.
The Green background could turn to Yellow if discussions are ongoing about items
for sale --
Chrome bricks, custom parts etc.
The background would then turn to RED if discussions are ongoing about individuals
and ethics/morality.
When the Yellow background is up - members would be encouraged to post OFF TOPIC
items, jokes, links to cute videos etc.
When the RED background is up - free for all -- anything to change the subject
-- Dirty Jokes, links to "other" videos, Religion and Politics discussion --
EVEN posts to e-bay LINKS selling LEGO instead of just posting all the info necessary
to see it without a simple one click solution !!!!
