Hi,
can we stop being so paranoid about going off topic in the offtopic section, please?
Someone constantly deletes my oh-so-clever quips and ... I don't like it, pardon my French.
If you want to steer something back on topic, write "get back on topic"! Don't just silently remove posts left and right because you don't think they fit.
Adults are talking here.
This isn't the suggestions forum where factual points and opinions about certain topics are collected, or the support forum where people want help and not discussions about random crap.
This is a place for us to hang out and talk about stuff! Stuff that's determined by the topic title, of course, I get that. I know how a forum works. But god forbid people veer into side topics on page 52. It happens.
Let it happen!
When it gets out of hand, say something. Most of the time that's enough. Think back and you'll agree. If someone's really a deliberate a-hole and ignores your warnings, do whatever it is you do with your awesome moderator-powers, but for god's sake, leave us regular, communicating-like-people people alone and allow us to post things that venture into asides, things that could be offensive (within reason), and maybe even things zips doesn't like...
Can we please pull the stick out of our collective arses and behave like people again?
This is not a demand. I know there is no freedom of speech on internet forums. I know I'm just a jack-*** who hangs around here but contributes nothing but his stupid opinion without ever having been asked for it. No, this is not a demand. Just a plea to our beloved authorities to relax a little.
I'm tired of coming here to harvest the fruit of my satirical stabs / unfounded, stupid remarks only to find them gone along with whole strands of discussions...
