going off topic

okay, things are still getting out of control - they've had their warnings, i think it's time to do something about it. I suggest that we start deleting off topic posts within a thread, or just locking down the thread completely. even posts that are going on about going off topic. If we lock down the threads, if people want to talk about the same thing again, it doesn't take much to start up a new thread.

is this too harsh, or do you think it's neccesary?

Doesn't sound harsh to me...there's a whole forum for off-topic crap we don't need five others.

No, not harsh at all.


I haven't been around lately because there has been WAY too much of that crap going on. I'm back now though, because i realised it wasn't the attitude I should have as a moderator, I still have been lurking for Off Topic posts in the General Forum though.

Threads that stray off topic annoy me a lot... and yes, something needs to be done about it.

So what are we gonna do. Move the threads, close them, warn them first....or even split the threads? vbulletin has that function doesn't it? I think what goes for one forum should go for all...

I agree in general with what you said.
