what do you guys think of this idea if posts become totally off topic instead of deleting the off topic posts but move that post and all relating to that post to its own thread and dm the op that is what happened?
On paper looks good but: OP says"Unemployment benes going to 4 years"
Responder" Get a job you worthless individual"
New thread: Get a job and don't collect.
Responder: I try everyday and can't get one.
New thread: Jobs are hard to get and I need benefits.
Responder: You can get 2 or 3 years of benes.
Enter OP from 2 months back: HEY! that's what I said!
Sunny, sounds like you need to break out MORE popcorn. lol

I also think that this is a good idea.
Sunny, you have always been very fair, IMHO. Not too strict, not too easy.
visit this non moderated or limited moderated forum for a day
charlotte forums - craigslist
and compare the forum.
city-data is a place you can feel comfortable with your mom or grand mom viewing over your shoulder.
city-data is a place where your children can come here ask questions comfortably about a future city they may be moving to.
City-Data is mainly a relocation forum and not a debate forum.
these forums are moderated different than the state forums and are moderated very loosely.
You better be on top of your game if you can think you can win your argument
I feel the moderating is overdone on the more heavily loaded subjects than on the lighter ones. You can be as off topic as your heart pleases as long as you dont step on anyone's toes. I feel the moderating here is oppressive and feel these boards are extremely inane and bland, reason i dont stop by here often anymore.
Happy New Year to you, we missed you and hope you return real soon.
Wel,l not swear so much, but post pictures that have swear words in the captions. I have some good ones! LOL
make sure it comes from photobucket or some other similar site. Long as the image isnt copyrighted then it's ok.
Sometimesphotos speak better than words
I'm no way changing the tos which I base my moderating from. Just how I handle those who seem not to grasp it

OK I can't help it as I saw this just this week. Here is an off topic video for this off topic, topic, inspired by the cat on the roomba. What a cat does ones he learns to drive one.

A little late to the game, but in general I think the moderating has been fair. I like the idea of splitting if need be. I think they key is there are two types of topics, factual and opinion. I.E. if someone is asking for facts about something, it should stick pretty much to the topic, especially related to relocating. However, if someone is bringing up an opinions topic, such as "your thoughts on the following" a little more expansion on the topic is ok. As someone before used the tree anology, see where they are heading if they are driving off in a completley new topic, then split or aquit.

Back on topic, I appreciate you asking about this. I don't really have any complaints with the forum at all and the moderation.
OMG Lumbollo that video ROCKS! Hahah!
