I'll highlight the same thing here that Brovo has highlighted to me several times in the past.
This is not a debate site, it's a roleplaying site. Even if OT is the best place on the Guild for debates, debating was never the purpose.

In other (my) words, the site is not made for debates, the Admins and Mods are not Admins and Mods to track debates, but to help roleplayers.
As a result you will get Admins and Mods closing threads often because of conflict. I mean, I've seen conflict on other sites a hundred times bigger than the shit Admins and Mods hide thread here over, and on the other sites the admins leave it open, because they encourage debate and discussion, and they don't have any reason to be scared of or try to avoid conflict that arises from it.

An RP site though? They're not for debates, they're for roleplays. So if debates get to a point where it's causing complaints it's going to be closed.

To word it in a more black/white way.

There are people who in a debate relish it, they see it as people being passionate, ideas being used, people are thinking, free speech is being exercised, minds are working.
Then there are people who see debate as unwanted conflict, it's messy, it causes anger, it makes people bicker, they'd rather put to an end so everyone can go back to having 'fun' (Only in quotes because there are people like me who do have fun in said debates). The Guild is made for a community of the latter, so it's natural they close down threads showing heavy debating rather quickly.

[quote=Rtron]Forgive me if I'm wrong in this statement, but I take it you don't vote?You can change the government by voting new officials in who you think won't do what you don't like. If you don't vote to try and change the government, then you can't complain about how the current government is. You've done nothing to try and change it.[/quote]

That's like saying you can't judge tea readings, crystal balls, astrology etc because you don't take part in it.
Someone is completely allowed to see a flaw, and call out that flaw without consciously committing the flaw themself.
