It is only a matter of time. We should also implement the same system about discussions with the war/Interregnum in ESO the same way we implemented the Civil War thread policy.

We can always make the "The Second Era Interregnum Super Thread" to prevent anyone from creating anymore threads about the war and keep an eye on the new thread for flame wars. I honestly do not think this would be necessary. The reason why the Skyrim Civil War was such a volatile discussion was because it was surrounded by more controversial issues, such as racism, government stability, honor-bound agreements, and individual liberties. It was more volatile because the most defining characteristics were the ones that were most realistic and relevant (especially in today's society). Flame wars usually start over controversy.

I do not foresee the "War of the Three Banners" as being nearly as controversial. It's not about freedoms or rights. It's about who should rule the Empire, which is entirely opinional and made even less controversial when you take into account that the individual players will be battling to be Emperor. Also, I don't get that same atmosphere from ESO that it will be taken as seriously as Skyrim.
