Something Offal posted:

Landlords discriminating applications based on Section 8 status or criminal records is legal in some states and I don't think you should get to decide what is or is not 'acceptable discussion' on this here gay comedy forum.

Wow I literally edited that a second after I posted it you must just be F5ing over there.

The point was that if you locked the thread due to it being a pain in the rear end to moderate but then unlocked it without changing anything about why it was a pain in the rear end... then it is just going to be another pain in the rear end (as shown already given that you have to hand out numerous probations) and you've solved nothing for yourself.

The position of "it is legal so it is fine to talk about" is kind of silly anyway considering the rest of the subforums operate on "don't be a dick" just fine. Saying that people are free to discuss how to discriminate against the poor just because hey it isn't illegal is some lol poo poo and you can't be surprised if the response isn't good.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
