Go up one level in this thread


I have followed the discussion, and I have no particularly relevant opinion
about programs like this deadking.

But from the discussion I can conclude that the legal status of such a program
is unclear. As a result you changed your opinion to "Let's ban these subjects
because most people here don't like these kind of subjects". This has nothing to
do with violating the charter, but with catering the majority (or maybe a
minority - who knows) of posters.

So from your own observation you can't conlude that it violates the charter, and
given the many responses it's also hardly clear that these subjects are indeed
unwanted here.

Suddenly you leave the discussion, make a new top post and state that the
subject is violating the charter.

You may understand that although I have no thoughts about deadking, I _do_ have
some thoughts about your way of handling this.

Your claim of upholding the charter simply doesn't cause the subject to violate
the charter.
