    Default Refences to Inappropriate Topics off-site (specific religious and political)

    Hey...

    Just want to know if such activity is frowned upon...

    Example 1:
    Discussing the film "The Hunt for Red October", would be ok to ask someone to google Cold War for the political background of the film?

    Example 2:
    Asking for good sources on the topic.

    My hunch - and it's just a hunch - is that neither is OK. Both have the potential to bring the discussion into the thread itself (especially #2). So while your post itself may not be a rules violation, it's almost certain to lead to a violation somewhere down the line.

    Sheriff: One could discuss the film as long as they didn't discuss the political aspects of it. For example, discussions of its acting, cinematography, etc., would be fine unless the got political.

    But everything else you suggest should be avoided if you want to stay on the right side of the Forum Rules.
