Title: Why are so many topics no longer about Debate & Discuss
Post by: sfreeman8 on January 10, 2017, 12:51:58 pm
They should be under Off-Topic, not under the sub-heading of Debate & Discuss. I noticed this happening for a while now.  On the first page, there are 13 out of 20 posts that are not debate and discuss. They should have been just the Off-Topic heading.

And this bothers you why?  :confused1: Your research is well-founded, however.

People don't pay attention to where they're posting because they're usually posting just for the sake of posting 30 for the bonus

I don't pay attention to what topic a post is in, just if I can contribute to the discussion.

If others bring it up for the sake of nit-picking what does it say about them?The world is full of others that enjoy being controversial.

However it might be good managment for all of us to make the forum more efficient too.Lazinesss or not caring is what may cause posting in wrong areas.If its done un-intentionally i see no biggie.It reminds me of when others scold others about their spelling etc.

It becomes a problem with people are asking questions/looking for help and it's in the wrong board so it doesn't get addressed. You can also tell the people that are posting just random things to get 30 posts which goes against the basic guidelines to earn the bonus

Yeah, I know what you mean. But it happens in every section of the forum, not just D&D. Doesn't really bug me, though.

Hi,
You make some excellent points.  I agree with you that maybe the Debate and Discuss topics in question were previously posted in an incorrect discussion thread.  Have a terrific day!

That's because people don't pay attention or comprehend what they read which goes along with people who just post choice questions on here instead of putting the their words in the context of a post.  8)

So we have people posting general stuff in the Debate & Discuss forum and people posting political debates in the General Off-Topic forum :(

I don't understand why people would post general stuff here though, this forum doesn't get as much traffic as the other one.

I notice that I have warning on this posting that it had not been posted in for at least 45 days. Is it look at unfavorably if I am posting here. Anyways, in regards to debate & discuss, I myself do look at the topics and the listing. Maybe it needs a sub heading like Debate & Discuss political issues only, etc.? I do not have the answers or the solutions. Anyway, have a great day.

People just click a random forum and start posting. They just don't pay attention.

A place to have political, religious, and other divisive discussions. Enter at your own risk!

It has a heading. People just choose to ignore it or don't pay attention

Hello everyone,  :) :)
 I want to discuss the surveys that I have taken. They ask a couple of questions and then they all of a sudden say that you don't qualify. I have taken over a dozen surveys and have only qualified for one survey, what is up with that? I have been totally honest with them. I would like to earn so more money on these surveys.
