Moved to Community where discussion belongs.
And again, I am truly sorry for having to close that thread.
EDIT: oops, I closed the political poll, not religion one. Not sure who took care of that...

* deleting a discussion thread is fascist, disallow posting and writing the reason with a big "sorry" may be a better way,
It's just a talk forum, setup by someone, paid for by someone, managed by someone. Those someones get to establish guidelines. Enforcing such guidelines doesn't make anyone fascist, just as posting whatever one feels doesn't make them an anarchist.

Why doesn't Nokia own these forums?
Can't they afford the server costs?
There are other nokia-owned forums too.

It's only that deleting instead of closing seems so drastic!

I'm puzzled, why wasn't the first thread moved here.
Or maybe it can be moved here?

The first thread wasn't moved here because it is in violation of the board's rules, not just off-topic. Off-topic mentions it in its description because it is such a recurring event.
Religion has no place in the Community sub-forum. If anything, it ought to be in off-topic (so bonus points for the thread starters to putting it in the right place to start with), but the rules prevent them either way.
But regardless of that, this forum isn't a democracy. Yes, it is autocratic, yes, you can label it fascist all you want, that won't change the outcome, though.
PS: Show me one person who was punished on tmo for calling the moderators or admins fascists. Show me one single fascist government where the government wouldn't punish citizens that cried out.

In a democracy, if the major part of peoples will share my view, the forum will accept religious discussion.
But, I'm sure that polling about it will result in the major part against them.

I think we're due for world war iii just so the kids (these days...) understand the true meanings of freedom...

I however 'blame' myself entirely for not having read the TOS in enough details and, believe it or not, appreciate the speedy resolution/closing of the thread. A forum is not a democracy.
Moderation here IS improving (and yes, I am being serious and honest!).
