Off Topic is not a chat room
This forum is meant for open dialogue that does not fit in the other forum categories. It is not meant to be a chat room. Users who wish to chat amongst themselves should either use the Private Messaging system or some other instant messaging software.

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

Racial comments or profiling
Comments or topics is strictly prohibited. We expect the general populaces to give each other respect that we expect to ourselves.

Low content
If a topic or a post has no meaning or an invitation to be flamed that neither contributes to the community, poses any questions or statements that can lead to any positive discussion, or poses any serious questions that the OP genuinely wants an answer too, then this thread will be closed or a post removed at the discretion of the moderating team.

Images and meme
All images must be safe to view at work. You can post meme's to the site as long as they are not racial or used to mock/insult any user.

Respecting Each Other
You are not allowed to attack, harass, taunt, incite, be rude, be disrespectful to any user. This will be highly enforced in Off Topic.

Moderation in this section will be stricter than other sections. We will have no tolerance for rude, racist, disrespectful, taunting, or any jerk-like behaviour in Off Topic

Please do remember that meaningful discussion is encouraged but keep an open mind since everybody will have his/her own opinion and it's expected that opinion is respected. Trolling, baiting or flaming will not be tolerated and can or will be removed at the discretion of the moderating team and/or RedFlagDeals team.

Please remember that these Off Topic policies work with the site policies. Here are the Community Policies
