It is common etiquette on most forums if the author of a thread request it to be closed the administration will honor that request. That is not viewed as a censorship on ones opinions or that Admin/Moderator is taking a position on a thread or moderating it. Just a courtesy to the user.

If you want or have a thought or discussion you would like to make or start you are free to begin a new thread that YOU are the author of.

Political Forums are 'opt in' and as mentioned our intentions are to be involved with moderating as little as possible. If you don't like a particular user's perspective you can go into your usercp and add them to your ignore list and you won't have to be bothered with them or their opinions which is better than insulting your neighbor.

Feel free to private message or email me (talkofthevillages@gmail.com) if you have any questions or concerns and thanks for being a part of TOTV!
