Off-topic section (still) contains irrelevant topics!

[hhgb 2,655]

Almost 1/2 a year ago I made a thread regarding the forum organization, I was told that there would be some action taken.

But to where we are now nothing has changed! Since then, the last thread has been archived and I can't bump it, so now I'm forced to create another as a reminder to the staff.

"I took this simple screenshot of the pinned threads in the 'Off-Topic Discussion' and wrote on it yesterday morning talking about the pinned threads.

As you can see, these threads do not belong in the section! They would fit the 'Game Discussion' area better than this section. How they got pinned without being moved I have no idea, but these are only the pinned threads! There are many more non-pinned topics in this section that also do not belong there. Because of this we are losing a 'Off-Topic' section and the 'Game Discussion' section is slowly dying. With how strict the moderation is in its current form, how has this been overlooked?

 

Can we get some staff to look into topic/section organization? This is clearly not working!"

 

Despite a title change or two, all those topics are still pinned, this does not need to be updated in any way.

Deliver on your promises, Tanki Forum staff!

This will be locked as a duplicate thread, but I have no other way of delivering the message to those who care.

The descriptions of each sub sections aren't complete on their own and don't really define the exclusivity of that section (except in obvious cases like Forum Games or I&S). When we say the discussions not related to Tanki Online, we won't close a topic just because it's related to Tanki Online but in a way that it suits Off Topic discussion more than Game Discussion. Take POTD for example. The the topic is meant for sharing photos, not necessarily from Tanki. If you go back to any point of time in that topic, there will be multiple memes, gif's etc which are unrelated to Tanki and would not be allowed if the topic were to be placed in Game Discussion. Being in Off topic allows these topics to be flexible hence why these are more popular than any of the Game Discussion topics.

Since you have raised this issue again, it will be discussed, but as I've explained, it's really for the best to keep things the way they are.

This section is for Technical issues only. Please read the Section Rules before creating a new topic.
