Off Topic Update

[oranr]

Hey everyone,

As you may have noticed, we've cleaned out the existing posts in the off topic section. They are archived and still available for viewing here (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/off-topic-archive-f133/).

Over time, an unacceptable number of posts bent or broke our rules. We've rebooted the Off Topic discussion forum to start again with a clean slate. We want Off Topic to be a friendly place to discuss a variety of topics, but keep in mind the following:

- Offensive content is not permitted. This includes racism, nudity/sexuality, violence, illegal activities, profanity, and discrimination.
- Respect other posters. Personal attacks or harassment will not be tolerated.
- Spam, self promotion, and referral links are not permitted.
- As a general guideline, content should be PG-13 or "safe for work"
- At its discretion, RedFlagDeals.com may remove any content it deems inappropriate.

Make sure you read and review the full off topic discussion posting rules here (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/ot-guidelines-updated-may-28-2012-a-1009785/).

Will things like my "Ultimate What's Open/Closed on Holidays" thread be allowed to be moved back?

I for one am glad we have revamped the system and given even more power to the already power tripping mods of off topic just to make this sub section a little more ridiculous.

Yes it will be moved back

Yes it will be moved back

Thanks. Should we simply report threads we think are useful (i.e. Open/Closed, You laugh, etc) or pm a mod, or neither?

Rudeness like this, is ridiculous... Mods have a tough time as it is, and ignorant comments like yours should be an instant permaban.

Yup, just send me a list of threads. You can PM me or list them here.

Thanks

It's too bad that a handful of users couldn't follow this rule and ruined it for the rest of us:


Personal attacks or harassment will not be tolerated.

[flashy_mcflash]

Or


Political & Religious threads
Political and Religious threads are not allowed.

;)

Lol.... There is more bad than good with this move....
