And by the way, if you post a question that is completely OFF TOPIC in the wrong thread you will get an infraction too. Just look into my eyes...those hypnotic eyes...and you will see that I am serious about all this. |
aw man i will be totally screwed in that case. i can see your point when it's a common newbie mistake like the one that was deleted earlier today.
sometimes a thread takes off on a different direction, a life of it's own. what i think you're talking about would be too close to censorship ("verbose" too? i have seen some newbies post a couple pages of none paragraphed text but if nobody reads it the thread will die out). people will not reply honestly for fear of being off topic. sometimes the first thing to come to mind is correct, even though it is off-topic. please don't start doing that in those cases (but how can one person be the judge of all that?). you have to let the threads grow and move on naturally, otherwise you get a ton of new threads. please tell me you won't start doing that... remove the post and let them know why, but don't remove them from membership because of "infractions" and make them pay again. you can't be serious.
by the way, one of my first posts was mistakenly posted to the wrong thread because i hit the next thread button at the bottom of the page thinking it was the next page button (it was much more prominent and i drink alot and often see 2 or 3 monitors in front of me at the same time) that is where i posted my response. i am sure that kind of thing happens all the time (not just because of alcohol). once people start paying and aspkin cleans up and organizes the forum it will happen less.
i am pretty sure that half of my posts are slightly off topic but they do generate relevant responses. i'm the kind of guy that "wears my heart on my sleeve". i would not feel comfortable here if i could not say what i wanted. might as well join an ebay powerseller's forum (f**king mayonnaise and crackers b.s. midwestern housewives. welcome to the jungle!).
we all have our bad days and should not take them out on people here (can't we all get along?)
