Doug, Muzosi, thread. Re: OFF TOPIC POSTS.

Please cut the off topic posts to a polite minimum.

I think over time we have come to accept that a certain amount of off topic posts (especially when they're humoristic or containing other normal personal touches) is nice because it shows we are human. Still the sheer amount of off topic posts has gone over the line imo. It wasn't ever the intention of this thread. Also I've seen quite a bit of complaints about it as well.

So here's what I propose to do about it, and I implement this proposal without delay (to start with):
- After three off topic posts I'll publicly request you to put a stop it (anyone on this board please do inform me via PM/email/public reply addressed to me as I am not reading all posts all of the time).
- If the persons I warned don't stop posting about the off topic I'll ban them following rules earlier laid down by Mani.
If anyone wants a different solution please say so and I'll put it up for a vote, but to get back to a more normalized on topic thread I get it started right now in the proposed way.

So here's the initial implementation: Doug and Muzosi please stop your off topic line of discussion. A lot of it is based on implied insults that you know all of the thread can do without. Thanks.

Muzosi, I strongly suggest you refrain from initiating an off topic thread containing strong implied insults starting here: Message 22562821
If you don't I'm afraid you put me in a difficult position to figure out a way to deal with those kind of strongly implied insults as well. At this moment I don't know, but I have good hope this is a one time thing anyway.

Regards,

Rink
