In recent weeks we've had a rash of discourtesy by members who have taken threads WAY OFF TOPIC and the threads were never able to recover. This is venomously mean to the original poster and serves no purpose for the community. Furthermore, subsequent posters usually join in and move the topic of the thread on in the direction the first off topic poster took it.

So, in the future, the first person to take a thread off topic may be subject to 15 days of moderation...that is, having their posts reviewed by moderators before being put up in the forums. The remainder will just get an infraction for being off topic.

There is no reason to go off topic. We even have an entire thread devoted to off topic posts. If you have attention deficit disorder or any other problem that would keep you from staying on topic in a thread, GO TO THE OFF TOPIC THREAD!

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community ON TOPIC!
