Question regarding thread derailment rules.

[Spectre]

maybe we can bring up solid issues in enough threads they'll just ignore the whole forum since he can't address real concerns

Zok first quit certain boards, then secluded himself to just one board, then quit his own site altogether. Nobody can beat that.

Blatant thread derailment is different from normal conversation flow.

Please read the OP of this thread for clarification:

http://www.intosanctuary.com/index.php?topic=3529.0

Off-topic posting is NOT against the rules UNLESS it's blatant derailing such as the following.

"Have you guys ever gone snowboarding before?"

"I like whipped cream LOL."

This however is normal conversation flow.

"I really like pizza."

"Especially ones with pepperoni toppings."

"I think pepperoni's pretty gross..."

It's not blatant derailing because it took you more than one irrelevant, low content, post to derail a thread? I'll remember that for future reference.

Well... as Arnox has personally demonstrated, it seems that as long as thread derailment appears like "normal conversation flow", i.e. it's done over a few posts rather than one, then theoretically every single thread that's created on this site could legitimately "flow" into a discussion about Arnox's administrative fuck-ups, regardless of the OP's content.

Hey SotB, what do you think of this?

at least fangle's forum isn't run by a mental tranny, so he has that going for him

I was not referring to you, funnily enough

But Zek tries to make the thread about him, i.e. nothing to do with the topic at hand. Maybe this is 'natural flow'; any mention of a "mental tranny" will, uhh, naturally flow into a conversation about Zek.

Maybe I'll just keep bumping this thread with Zek's derailing attention-seeking posts.
