I dunno about the rest of you, but frankly I'm sick and tired of all these P&N topics being posted in ATOT. I know there are people who will say "BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLICK ON THEM LOLZORZ!" Well, you're right, I don't, but they still clutter up pages so I have to dig deeper to find the good threads. There's a P&N category for a reason, and that's to keep all the wackos out of OT. Think about what category your post belongs in before you post it.

Yeah, this is what I'm starting to notice. Instead of numbnuts complaining about reposts, now I've got P&N nazis crying "WRONG FORUM OMGWTFP&N!" They both suck nuts.

Well, posts in the wrong forum are posts in the wrong forums. FS threads don't last long in HD for a good reason.

You know, an occasional thread about macro political subjects such as types of governments or economic systems is a nice thing to have here in OT. Here we can carry on a serious and civil discussion without the mindless parrots coming in and bleating their party slogans... which quickly deteriorates into a flame war.

Keep the party and individual politician subjects in P&N and let the occational theoretical discussions stay here in OT. PLEASE.

Agreed. I don't understand why people don't bitch and moan about threads like this. Isn't that news?

Doesn't this belong in FI anyway?

I agree with everything you said except... the bolded above.

However... call me crazy.

I kind of enjoy the mindless parrots... so long as they get locked down when they get out of control in OT.

No it doesn't. This thread belongs in forum issues, not off topic. So, the original poster is just as much a moron as the people posting P&N threads in here.

But, why is it that people bitch about "news" threads when they're about Iraq or something, but DON"T bitch about "news" threads when they're about Britney Spears or something?

I completely agree with Amused's post above.


Let's see... how many threads in the top ones don't technically belong here.
Scottie Pippen retires - news
Auto show thread - news
World of Warcraft - software
Big Boss Man (wrestler) dies - news
refresh rate? - hardware

5 out of the top 9 unstickied threads..

Step down from your high horse and realize you're apparently biased against certain topics - not necessarily news.

Oh, and explain to me why a member who has been here only 2 months should be dictating policy? If you don't like it here, there are hundreds of other forums.

OT political threads != P&N threads.

I wouldn't touch a P&N thread with a 10' pole, but I would comment on them in OT. I don't mind the occasional P&N type thread in OT as long as it's civil.
