Any of those consequences would be well-deserved, and I did what I did knowing well that they would be the likely result. I know that this was topic spamming, and that is very wrong. My little act of civil disobedience was simply to illustrate the fallacy of the claim that 'different aspects' of the same topic are not the same topic. It is still topic spam, and if 4 threads were that annoying, please imagine the frustration that many, myself included, feel over 187 threads about the same issue. If it allows for members to stop and think before doing this sort of thing, then it would make GT a much nicer place to be, and would be well worth any consequences that I am likely about to suffer.

I did not know that Obama was an issue. So far I thought the issues here where his different policies, politics and dreams he had for the country.

And comparing 4 threads posted within a short time with ~187 threads over.. what? 2 years or almost 3 years is rather mood, imho. Thats less than a new thread a day on average and nobody puts a gun to anyones head to post in them to keep these on the first page.

You can always tell Vendor to stop playing a news caster

(just kidding), that will reduce the number of Obama threads on the first page drasticaly.

I understand where you are coming from, and what you intend to show. However, when it comes to politics humans rarely (no matter which politcial sprectrum they are part of) are rational (no offense to anyone), and it is not going to change.

Just speaking for myself here: Yes, I do get annoyed sometimes too about all the Obama threads, all the Bush threads, all threads about how much the new patch sucks, how ****ty this (no particular) mod is, or how crappy the SH V / Ubi DRM is, but I decide if I want to read or even post in it. If I don't like it, I'll just ignore the threads.. No sweat, no lost sleep.
