As a whole OcUK is very lax on the way we deal with off topic posts. The mere thought of reigning this in, especially in motors caused an uproar.
However, there are other forums that are a lot stricter than us, and so I feel the pain of feeling constricted during discussions.
[Corsa]Fox, made the very poignant point of saying that thread drift is key to having good discussions and a community feeling. (I am paraphrasing and just adding bits as they fit, but the spirit of his point stands)
I'm not suggesting the modding here will change at all, I'm saying this as a normal member, not a Don.
So, my question is: if we stopped all off topic posts why would it annoy the hell out of you and why would it be detrimental to the forum?
