Pointing fingers isn't going to help anybody.
And you know, people (besides trolls..) don't purposely try to go off topic. It's hard to tell when a topic has been derailed enough to be annoying.
Topics grow, because if it were to stay in the same frame, it would be boring and short-lived, but it's different for everyone what is positive change and negative change in a thread.
Telling people to stop going off topic isn't going to do anything, really, and the people who're going "oh I never went off topic", that's pretty naive. Maybe in your standards, but not in others, I'd say. "Off topic" is a vague term, and even though I've been both the frustrated OP (especially in the thread in my sig, hello?) and sometimes the person who helps in derailing, it's hard to tell when something's getting out of hand, and each person's tolerance is different. This thread may be derailed to some people, and just growing (as in, not just in post count) to others.
It's not a clear line, really.
And @Raj, so the discussion grew to throwing attack. So? If you had anything more to ask, you could've. Was there something you wanted others to say instead? I don't understand why you'd be frustrated. It's not on topic, sure, but it's not spam either. It's helpful to some people.

Honestly, I feel like we're complaining too much about spam in BEAN RUA.
That's like going to McDonald's and complaining about how unhealthy their food is.
Come on, guys. Let's add some common sense to this issue.
Who cares who spams in Bean Rua? It's meant for random, nonsensical posts.
As long as we keep the rest of the forums in tact, we can be as disorderly as we want in this sub-forum, yeah? (Of course, within forum rules.)

I guess that's okay, but then the other forums are getting very off-topic too.

We're not and that's what we need to fix.
The out-of-topic talks in sub-forums outside of Bean Rua, hence the need for this thread.
I'm not disagreeing with you.

Can you say for certain you didn't have any part in any derailing?

If there was confusion about where I posted this, my apologies. I posted it in Bean Rua because I knew people would come in and make stupid posts.
This thread isn't about Bean Rua. Its about all the other sections that actually count. I know it doesn't matter, since people don't listen anyway, but its worth a shot, regardless.
