Ok guys (and gals) seriously? WTF wrong here? I understand "Ask a gay guy" - some may have some questions, but "Ask [member name]"? What is your favourite type of poo will be next?

I know there is "freedom", but come on! Some topics are way out of hand here. Kitchen dudes were bad, but this is just plain bullsh*t whats happening now.

Everybody trying to beat each other at dumbest topic in offtopic. As offtopic i understand threads like "UK goverment trying to ban porn" or "whats your cut on NSA", but "potato" or any other is just damn spam...

I don't mind, I like taking breaks from computer related discussions. Though the person hosting this website might.

I also aint into 101% of tech, but there is some limit to everything.

Welcome to the Spam Police.

Not the spam police. I was a mod on the biggest site in my country for GTA series and had same sh*t happening. 6 years of worse stuff than this. I actually had "What kind of sh*t do you make" topic there. I feel like i have a deja vu...

I'm getting really annoyed and have reported some but it seems the mods don't seem to be doing anything with it and just allow the pointless topics to continue.

There is a difference between off-topic and pointless and we are starting to see the ladder a lot more often.

Isn't it better to have a place where these dumb topics can be contained?

That way you can avoid that section if it annoys you that much and those interested can write and reply to the topics within.

 

Really now, I do not see the problem here.

Yeah, but how is it to people who wanna join LTT community and i mean people who will help and have knowledge that wanna share it. They come to offtopic and see this sh*t. Basicly lets spam the sh*t outta the offtopic section.

 

More to it - spammers will start giving useless and stupid advices on other sections.

They shall share it in the appropriate places.

Off-topic has never been intended as a place to share knowledge about stuff that has their own place in the rest of the forum.

If we want to have a horrible section (personal opinion) of the forum than that section's post should not show up in the 'View New Content" section than so I don't have to deal with Ask a X, Whats your favorite X, and other pointless things I don't care about. Than you would have to go to that sub-forum specifically to view that content. 

I wouldn't mind that alternative than.

Look up OC3D offtopic Chat. They even have subforums in it for humor and serious talk.

 

I dont wanna say they are better, but like in Old Spice commercial.

 

Look at this section, now at OC3D one. Now back to this and back to OC3D. Sadly...
