I guess I don't understand why this is even an issue or question to begin with.

But anyways.....
I will admit that I do like to discuss news stories/chit chat/whatever without all the trolls and GC deviants posting garbage that has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the topic ( and how some Mods just letting it go on and on an on forever). In the BGLO forums, things are actively moderated so that's kept to a minimum.
Given the fact that some of these topics are usually race related, keeping the "ignorant element of GC" out of the threads is even more important ...well to me anyways.
When I come to GC, I just click "View all new posts" so I do see everything.
