I might be out of line here, but I would like to make a suggestion to add to the forum rules. There have been way to many sub/dub debates lately. I admit I participate in them as well, even if I am never the one to start them.
Can we add something to the forum rules where someone gets one maybe two warnings and then you can ban them if they say something that is obviously controversial about a sub/dub.
For example. If someone says something like 'I watched the subbed version and liked it better because the voice actress for Bulma was annoying in English'. That should be OK, because they're justifying their reasoning for not liking a particular performance.
But if someone says 'All dubs suck', or 'Dubs are shit compared to the Japanese performances which are chocolate'. They should be warned, because there is nothing behind it except biased opinion which is obviously just trolling for an argument. And if someone continues to do so, ban them.
Because at this point everyone knows that it is a moot point. Yet there are some who continue to make controversial statements. I know JJ has gotten lax on the rules lately. But I do think this would dramatically help reduce these pointless debates.
