This sticky thread is made in response to the increasing number of debates concerning political, religious and other issues that are of controversial nature.
"Many countries in the world promote freedom of speech, and Canada and the USA are no exception. Although the name Off-Topic (Serious Discussion) may imply that topics other than Pen Spinning are allowed in this forum, for reasons of bandwidth and other circumstances, the UPSB recommends that members refrain from debates/conversations regarding religious, political, controversial (such as effective torture methods, etc.) and illegal matters in a standard Pen Spinning forum. Let's make it clear though, matters could be either right or wrong, only depending on the point of view of the speech maker. From past experience, religious and political conversations within the Off-Topic forum tend to become charged up, with members becoming increasingly more aggressive in trying to persuade other parties on their views. This could potentially strain relations within the PS community. Thus it's something that we shall try to avoid. If and when members become interested in the likes of religious, political, or even out-law conversations, please use a search engine such as Google and search for the appropriate forums for the respective areas of your preference and not use the UPSB for these purposes.
Note: The UPSB encourages members to stay within the judicial laws of their respective countries. The UPSB does not condone nor promote any illegal and/or out-law behaviours and activities. The UPSB does not hold responsibility for violations of the law by any specific individual behaviour."
