Derailing Threads
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 7:19 pm
I was approached about the issue that lot of threads turn into off topic threads and then starting thinking this may be a factor that this place is not growing since it may discourage people from participating in the original topic, or, starting topics altogether.
So I think we should just try our best not to make threads go off topic. I think we can all say we've done it more then once, including myself, so just a heads up to try and watch not to bring threads off topic.
For the mods, also be more strict by moving any off topic posts into the WLT and noting it in the thread (to avoid confusion).
So let's all try to keep threads on topic! I think this will make it better for those who actually want to participate in the topic of certain threads, rather then talk about anything outside the wlt.
Also, this will only encourage us to go more in the WLT, and see it get bigger, faster, like the good old days!
Thanks,
