Chris, the thing is when most people hear "Off-topic" they usually take it to mean, "Talk about anything that's not illegal." That assumption isn't broken unless specific rules are given. I agree that not every thread on the OT is of high quality, but even the General forum encounters a bad topic now and again. The best solution is to just ignore and move on. I honestly don't see where your level of anger is coming from.

I can see where you're coming from Chris, it would be nice to have the forums customizable so you didn't have to see posts in a forum you don't use.

But that's not the case, and until it is you're going to have to live with people using the off-topic forum to talk about off-topic stuff.

Maybe take this thread elsewhere though, this was supposed to be a place for people to sing praises towards jamrod

hey half those insulted threads were mine or knock offs of mine.

Unbelievable, Chris I like you but you derail so many threads talking about forum organization that its borderline hypocritical. You do realize your contradicting your beliefs right? Also, not everyone care about ladder stats. There is more you can do for a clan than be high on the ladder.

Wow, i actually defended this thread and i get crap?

When I was in CORP, we used the Clan Page/Titles for external recognition. You have to be wary of cluttering the Clan forum- low activity forums make it much harder for activity to naturally filter out spam (for example, compare the impact of /r/TodayILearned/new on /r/TodayILearned/hot to that of /r/Debate/new to /r/Debate/hot).

While I respect your interest in making sure your members get the recognition they deserve, given the trivial nature of the information here, you could perhaps make a single thread to consolidate your Member of the Month awards- perhaps even a single external-facing Poon Squad thread where you can also receive feedback on your clan and avoid having to repeat yourself everywhere. It would serve as a great resource for people interested in your clan, too, as it's a much more comprehensive document than your clan page. Just bringing that up as it was an idea I toyed with in CORP (when I felt that others might benefit from having a more accurate perception of our clan, especially given its dynamic nature).

This isnt a clan forum...
