  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 !!!!



This is an absolutely horrible idea, because by allowing banned subjects, you
completely remove any negative consequences to posting dirty limericks and links
to Rick Astley videos. I am flabbergasted and utterly horrified and deeply disturbed
and mildly irritated and completely discombobulated that such an idea would even
be thought up, let alone posted.

Tomorrow, though, I am going to suggest that unregistered members be allowed
to talk about politics and religion in the Forum, because I think this is the
main reason so few people shop here.
