    First of all, a poll that mixes trolling with off topic is biased.

    But about off topic, As I already said before, it's impossible to read every comment here, so the off topic moderation rely on reports.
    And, as off topic can be a bit subjective, I personally take in account op's opinion, so the person who created the post is the one who decide how far off topic or not it should go. Even if, on the other hand, anyone who open a public conversation should be prepared to receive a variety of answers.
    Some people would not consider off topic a joke, some would.
    Some people like a debate to go a bit off track and discover new optics, others dont.
    So it's not as simple as it seems.
    Specially if the topic is not 100% technical.

    We do our best here do find a middle term between freedom of debate and respect to the OP and other members who contribute to a thread, it's obviously not always perfect, but we really try to do it well.

    Totally true. I'm 96% OT jokes, 3% productive comments and 1% troll.
    Well... make it 97/2/1 better
    Luckily you (mainly) don't, the proof is I'm still here :rofl:

    Well I must admit a similar ratio problem.
    Wait... isn't the question really how to make the trolling more on topic?

    If what you want becomes reality,then we should also make stricter off topic rules and prohibition of dumb unfunny shit posted daily by you...Like that Kelly Madison porn shit supposed "joke" I had seen you post on a thread which was not even about porn in the first place...It's only fair...Hypocrite gtfo...You trynna seem all serious and shit while you're a clown that does the very same shit.

    Maybe just mark your thread with [STRICTLY ON TOPIC] or something like that so everybody knows what to expect.. or maybe [NO TROLLS ALLOWED] or [SOME TROLLING WELCOME BUT NOT ALL]

    although I dislike many racist sexist or biggotive trolls, I find it slightly offensive tbh when we as a community trying to be excluding an entire group of people from the site

    I've read and watched lots of materials about 90s web. It was cool. No censorship, no data collection, no nothing - complete chaos and freedom. It sounds awesome. But then AT&T and CIA begun to f**k this up. And then all those f***ing greedy corps took over it. And then people like the topic starter appeared - neurotics and mom's boys. And then people like those who agree with them - boys of mom's boys.

    This is how 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse took away our web freedom.

    I guess you are talking of the first internet social things like IRC (mega-chats).
    It was wild, for the good and the bad. Sometimes it wasn't pretty at all :hahaha:
    After experiencing that is hard to be pissed off in today's social internet.

    I'm not playing though/cool guy, in real life I get pissed as much as anyone.

    I really don't know what the fuss is all about with threads in the humor section. Everyone knows it is the HUMOR section, so why go there and expect it to have a serious topic? :dunno: I had a thread in the HUMOR section closed down because one member went bitching to @Olymoon about it. Those that don't have a sense of humor need to stay out of the humor section. Indeed, they need to take their bitching elsewhere, and stop trying to impose their seriousness shit on everyone in a section which exists for exactly the opposite.

    It was good, bad and ugly. Just like Telegram channels.

    There are people who find themselves uncomfortable without the imposition of strict rules, they are generally insecure individuals. You have to be careful because it can become a pathology, a self-confident person knows how to move easily in any enviroment.
    What we have here is not chaos, it is anarchy: a very profound concept that should be taken very seriously especially by artists (who we are)
    • Law and freedom without force (anarchy)
    • Law and force without freedom (despotism)
    • Force without freedom and law (barbarism)
    • Force with freedom and law (republic)

    "The starry heavens above me and the moral law within me"
    E. Kant

    To better understand the concept of Anarchy:
