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.

I'm more concerned about the landslide in PNG. Over 2000 people buried.
