Recently active topics in Hubdub tagged with contentious questions

Over the past week there has been extensive debate about whether contentious questions, such as those involving death of celebrities or military personnel, should be allowed on Hubdub. I see three main positions:
1. It is morally wrong and offensive - questions involving death (in particular the Swayze and Iraq body count questions) should be banned
2. These questions are news and as a news site we should carry them, and treat them like any other question
3. While these questions shouldn't be banned they should be kept separate in some way from the rest of the site

I'm not sure if there is a majority behind any position although most people it would seem would settle for position 3.

Therefore long term we are proposing to introduce a tagging system so that all new questions are tagged with regards what they relate to. Questions relating to death would be tagged as such. In addition we will have functionality which will allow other users to filter out all questions with certain tags (YouTube does something like this).

One problem is that it will probably be 1-2 months before we can release that functionality. Therefore in the short term I propose contentious questions are dealt with on a case by case basis. If there is significant opposition to a question then it would be voided. Those case rulings would then be used as 'case law' for any new contentious questions. To date there has been strong opposition to two questions, Patrick Swayze and US and coalition troop deaths. If this resolution is accepted, those questions will then be voided, as would any future variant of those questions.

When we introduce tag and filtering we would review this again to see if these rules should be amended.

There has been some discussion on the Patrick Swayze question as to whether it should be voided as it is considered distasteful:

There has already been some discussion on what questions are acceptable:

The consensus then was that we shouldn't be policing the morality of each question. Since then we have proposed a slight amendment to the rules detailed here:

We will make that rule change in the next couple of days. However some of the commentators on the Patrick Swayze question think that all questions like it should be banned. Views?
