Piracy in Disco

[Baltar]

I was under the impression a trial by forum was where an individual is discussed. This is a discussion about three particular acts that some pirates do. Nobody has even mentioned an individual outside of themselves. If I mentioned any of the pirates that caused me to become concerned enough by the lack of their attention to post this, this would indeed become a trial by forum. The question is, who do you think is on trial on this Topic? It can't be a trial without someone to be judged.

No ... a trial by forum is where you single out an individual or group. Take a look at the many threads where a group of lawfuls were discussed ... with regard to their role play. The vast majority have been locked by admins. A precedence has been set with regard to these type of threads.

The point here is that by you bringing up those three incidents you are placing all "Pirates" on trial here. If there is a problem with a particular pirate ... address the issue with that individual in PM or send a violation report. But don't put all pirates on trial because you had a few bad encounters.

These anti-pirate threads only stir up animosity in the community. Nobody likes it ... and it generally gets shut down very quickly ... when someone starts an anti-lawful thread.
