Instead of arguing about politics we should all moan about new Rotting Christ album. As a lifelong fan I am insulted by third album in a row build on 2 or 3 same riffs

There are other places to discuss it that's more well suited than Metal Storm's Shoutbox.

Avoiding the Palestine/Israel conflict in particular is because we have people from both sides here with completely different views. We don't want any animosity between our users. It's a sensitive topic so just stay clear of it.

Shoutbox is place where we shout at devil and motley crue

“ The shoutbox is not meant to be as tightly moderated as our forums, since there's no real topic. A minimum use of common sense is all you need to fully enjoy it.”

Why can we not have a discussion in the shoutbox? Isn’t that what it’s for?

I can understand that people want to chill here and dont have politics in their faces. But...making certain rules for one conflict sends wrong signals big time.
