Should [OT] topics be moved to a separate forum?

[menet]

Or would a mixed forum be OK too?

Yes, that would be ok for me.

Or would a mixed forum be OK too?

yes, totally OK IMO.

Je crois que c'etait quite spassig.

This also would be a nice place for the rather rare users who only speak esperanto, binary or klingon...

OK, the result of the vote is quite clear.

Does anyone volunteer to moderate the off topic forum?

Christian,
What would be the forum rules?

Roman

[ghisler(Author)]

They are the same in all forums:
http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=8

Of course point 3 (Keep the focus) makes no sense, all topics which do not violate the other rules are allowed. Threads which clearly violate the rules (e.g. SPAM, Warez etc) can either be deleted or locked and the unallowed parts deleted.

OK, I can try. I am sure majkam will be happy.
(Though I won't be too active for this and the next week.)

BTW: What about languages the moderator does not understand?

Can you just insert plugin with language description? I recall robots do that kind of thing.

Alternatively, we can add new rule that profanity is allowed only on English.

- very.


We can call it


     The TAVERN


PS: Hacky, when you split the post make sure you include the link to original place but not the head, but the exact place where you splitted.

majkinetor !,

Well, that would point to itself.

Hacker, update your logic.

T0 -->start
T1
T2
-------------
T3 --->[OT]
T4 --->[OT]

TN --->[OT]
-------------
TN+1 = T3'
TN+2 = T4'
...


So, you link to T2 not T0 or anything else

Clear ?

[Hacker]

Majki,
But the exact place I split would be T3, not T2.

Any news about the new tavern?

Mhh, apparently not....

[ghisler(Author)]

I'm not so sure whether we really want that. If you build a new street, it will attract new traffic. So if I open an off-topic forum, it will attract a lot of new posts which I have to monitor as the forum owner...

That "we" means you?
That "we" in the poll says somenthing different.

You should have told us your doubts a little bit earlier. Your previous postings in this thread sounds different for me.

The "we" also means the poor moderators who have to keep such an off-topic forum clean, and the TC users who would want to use it...
