[QUOTE="Pedeadstrian, post: 6385724, member: 316081"] The fact that "off-topic" has such a fluid definition is the problem. People see others making jokes and getting away with it and then try to do the same thing themselves and end up with very different outcomes. The same exact joke might be allowed in one thread and not allowed (i.e. deleted) in another, solely at the whims of whichever mod happens to be active at the time and what his or her (do we even have any "her" mods?) mood is. The sex dungeon example was just an example, not the sole reason for me typing this. I wasn't offended by the joke. As a sadomasochist myself, the idea of a sex dungeon is rather intriguing. But that's beside the point. I knew before creating this thread that what was to be considered off-topic would be handled on a case-by-case basis, but clearly from both of your responses you already have some kind of rules for certain cases. Knowing those would at least help [I]some[/I] people in the way (and place) they make off-topic posts, whether they're in the form of smartass comments, jokes, references, memes, etc. Having a definite lists of do's and don'ts, instead of just saying "It's only okay when it's okay" might help with all of the "shitposting" that people have been complaining about as of late.
