I don't really understand why people get mad about versuses threads who really cares if people want to compare people or things to each once again it's freedom of speech and if you don't like it just don't respond or even go into "Versuses Topics".
All from one Vrs thread "Stalin vs Hitler"(no offense to anyone here): thisisnotanalt, thelistman, VoteSocialist, Liutenant, SwordAndShield
if you have a problem with a user confront them about it; problem persists/goes haywire get a mod or other higher authority.
I don't think contacting them will help besides if a topic is locked a mod will read what people said and if they don't think it's to bad then why should I if there the mods?
Along with what Graham said with the threads being full of spam, the forums need to be diverse. Meaning, we can't have 15 threads of the same format (vs, rate the _____ above) going at the same time. That's usually what spurs mods to ban the format.
If there are diffrent Vs threads with diffrent Vs people example: "Stalin vs Hitler" or "God vs Rock" that sprouted at the same time it isn't spam nor do they deserve to be banned.
