How many US Politics / Obama / US Healthcare / War in Iraq threads have there been.

None of them hold the same actual importance to Alberta based users than a new party with a chance. If they blow the next election and fail to increase their seat count then they will die off like countless parties before them. If any party - the Libs or NDP or Green Party or Alberta Communist party or whatever want to post a link to their leadership debate so be it. The last time I checked if there is interest in the topic it stays on the front page, if not it dies into the CP archives.

Also, I dont consider this advertising - this is a new thread about a different issue than a by-election thread. If she blank posted a thread to keep it on the main page (like some sellers to in the Buy/Sell forum), then yes, that is over the line IMO. Or if she had a thread everytime that party came out with a new policy announcement or platform change, that would be advertising.
