Why is it we couldn't discuss SOPA/PIPA, then we suddenly were allowed to only to turn around and say "Can't discuss ACTA? these are all the same damn things, in different places under different names. WTF mmorpg.com?
Just give it to me straight, if you only care about americans say so.
The Deep Web is sca-ry.

I don't care about political discussions outside the scope of internet relations (presidents, congressmen, etc) But these things directly affect the net and even this website. Ban other discussions unrelated to this all you want, but not letting people talk about these acts here, where many people come for information on many things is only hurting yourself and the net's. surely if thousands of websites saw how this could affect them and did the blackouts in response to the acts could see it, you can too...

I would really like an answer to this as well.
sopa/pipa/acta cant be considered political subject that being said the issue is often politician will push to make it a political agenda.like obama voted for it etc and this i agree is a nono cause it is aneverending story!
but if it stay directly on topic of those i mentionned earlier ,yes it need to be discussed (just forget the polical side)
SOPA/PIPA was only allowable to talk about AFTER it was obvious that they were going to fail in Congress, not before. So when ACTA is hopefully going to fail across the pond then we will be able to talk about it.
Pretty simple.

that....doesnt sound simple to me at all....
The USA acts failed because of all the attention people brought to them on the web. This is no different. We need to talk about it, understand it, and help others understand it too.
mmorpg.com even did an article on these acts themselves! Which is good! But why can't WE talk about them???

You are correct.
It's simple because this site does not want to run afoul of the law. Try discussing Torrenting on this site or File-sharing.

In fact mmorpg.com did several articles on SOPA...

It would seem those fall into a political state if I follow there guidelines.
That thread was locked as well. Here's the deal: if editorial writes an article about a subject, whatever it may be, you are allowed to discuss it within the confines of that comment thread.
The creation of new threads of religious or political nature will not be allowed. Injecting the same sort of subject matter into existing threads is also not allowed.
I hope that clears things up. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
