Do you want race and religion discussions as they pertain to "Hip Hop" music?
Will you take the permanent ban for breaking any of the rules?

This includes personal insults - These happen in a large currency in this forum.
Bad language not pertaining to the topic - This includes any spelling meant to bypass the bad language sensors.
Offensive pictures of any sort - Including pictures that are offensive posted only for the purpose of getting a cheap laugh out of someone.
When you think about it, it is almost necessary to break some of the above rules. The whole reasoning for keeping these topics off the forums is to avoid needing to ban someone.
We absolutely cannot address people one on one on a personal basis. We could spend our entire days going back and forth with people about issues. Either you participate and adhere to the rules and take the ban if necessary or you don't.
It is not about power tripping, it is about keeping this place reasonable and flourishing. I've seen very popular forums lose a lot of members due to political discussions. It's something that divides people and leads to bans, this is why this is kept off the forums.
The deal about free speech is not about being authoritative. It's about respecting the private property of others. If you have a home you'd like people to respect your home. If you have a nice car you'd want people to respect your vehicle and not do anything that will devalue or damage it. This is the same thing with this forum. It takes money to run this place. If I was a sponsor and saw a forum with questionable content I would more likely than not take my sponsorhip elsewhere. I do believe this forum to be very valuable to beginners and experienced people alike and it takes everyone to give up something to keep things going strong.
So the question is.
1. Adhere to very very strict rules and let people have music-related discussions that touch on religion and politics?
or
2. Keep the same format and do without some of the more controversial topics?
