Anything that is "On Topic" is off-topic for "Off Topic".

Paradox?


The mods and our wise admin, Francis, have come to the conclusion that some threads in Off-Topic truly fit better in other forums. This conveniently coincides with the fact that plenty of our other boards lack activity. Therefore, the mods are officially adopting a new policy regarding certain topics that are posted in OT. There are a few key rules regarding this:

A. Posting something that is perfectly suitable for other boards in Off-Topic will not get you striked.

B. Instead, if we see the topic, we will merely move that topic to the board that we believe is appropriate (We will leave a shadow topic in OT for navigation purposes).

C. If a topic that is perfectly suitable for another board is posted in Off-Topic and a second topic arises in the board that it is suited to before any of the mods see the original topic and move it, neither thread will be touched.

D. If a topic is first posted in its appropriate forum and a new one appears in Off-Topic, it will be closed and a post will be made directing members to the pre-existing topic (This is to prevent the original topic from being unseen, as this new policy exists primarily to distribute activity across other forums).

E. For further clarification, only topics that are perfectly suitable or in-depth enough that are posted in Off-Topic will be moved (And only topics very similar in the content discussed will be locked when there is a pre-existing topic in another board). For example, if there is an "Official Team Fortress 2 Topic" in the Gaming forum, a topic specifically about certain upgrades/classes/jokes related to the game in Off-Topic will not be touched. However, if a "Team Fortress 2 Discussion Thread" arises in Off-Topic when there is already the "Official Team Fortress 2 Topic" in the Gaming forum, the new one in Off-Topic will be locked.

Hopefully you have a good understanding of our new policy after reading this thread. This will silently go in to effect over the next week, so be sure to notify us of any topics that may be affected by this new policy (Just click report and explain). And remember: this will hardly change anything about OT, and it will not result in any members being punished. So continue to enjoy Off-Topic as you usually do. Smile
