Anyhoo........so when can the topic be discussed then? I am still none the wiser as to what exactly constitutes an acceptable IR subject and one that is in breach of the rules. Or should people just post IR subjects and see if it gets closed?
Its a fair enough question since all members are expected to follow these rules in creating threads as I understand it.........a bit more clarity wouldn't hurt.

OK!
No IR topics here, is the general rule, regardless of their content.
Some threads often veer off into the overt IR realm so those keen to talk about them will get sustenance there. A few (in relation to the number of deletions), openly IR entitled or themed threads find themselves having life in the Village – these threads will stay or go (sometimes after a notice from a moderator), after a decision from the team. If the thread stays, that should only be seen as a mild compromise to the general rule; not BNV making drastic policy changes.
In the past, this board has seen thread after thread on the issue. This is not now the case and there is no wish, from the Moderation Team to step back in time. The Village is known for its African (Black) focus, which we retain via our guidelines and forum ethos.
So for clarity's sake coming direct from the Moderation Team, don't start IR topics here period because the way the Village functions, the odds are the thread will disappear, without warning or explanation. This has been the case here for years.
If members wish to post them, they will be more effective in their quest if they post them on the numerous other forums which encourage or don't mind such discussion and debate.
I hope this aids greater clarity and concludes this issue around the formal guideline, all members should be conscious of.
Peace
