[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]On the subject of off-topic posts, I think it is important to understand that posts that trigger reports often don't occur in a vacuum. Many times, the same sort of post has disrupted similar threads in the past. The person doing the reporting has seen it happen before, maybe multiple times. For whatever reason, some posters have fixations on certain topics and will post about that topic on any thread, regardless of what the thread is actually about. Those posters can provide any number of justifications for why their personal obsession is so important that discussion of it should be allowed in any thread or why it is actually on-topic. No amount of polite reasoning with these folks will convince them otherwise. Occasionally, this can result in some collateral damage when an innocent newcomer stumbles into posting about something that is only vaguely off-topic, but has been known to hijack threads in the past. Posters just assume it is the obsessed poster and report the post accordingly. [/quote] That may be true, but it's because that innocent newcomer is wearing leggings as pants. [/quote]
