[Off Topic] Off topic subforum

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing

This sub could use a sub forum for off topic discussion.

we cant even get related topics for a sub forum and you want to have an unrelated off topic sub forum :huh:

Yeah... I'm sure it'll be a cold day in hell before we get on topic sub forums.. let's not muddy the waters with off topic requests..

:lol:

No. Every board I've seen with OT forums, it entirely devolves into politcal flame wars. It's just a terrible, terrible idea.

I want a sub-forum for all the people who keep arguing. Joe Boss, WonderWaagh, and all the rest of them. I've got no idea who started it, but the moment a thread goes there, it just gets disappeared to the sub-forum, sent to the cornfield as if by the hand of little Billy Mumy:

It never just sticks to the OT forum though. Flame wars start there, and grow, then spill over to the rest of the board to the point that the need for multiple, and near constant, admin oversight is needed.

Yeah, it would rely on moderation, but if it was just having your conversations sent elsewhere rather than banning and that sort of thing maybe it would curtail some of this without excluding people from the forums? I'd like to say the lower stakes would make people get less mad, but that's probably as likely as Marek in a winning list at worlds. It's just getting pretty obnoxious lately. It's starting to feel like the Attack Wing forums...

Not until we get a TIE Advanced Appreciation sub-forum.

Or people should quit making pointless OT threads.

Not all are bad. Many of them are.
