General Chat or Soap Opera

[ber]

Create a new forum called "ON TOPIC GENERAL CHAT" this title is self explanatory really and posters are pre warned in the forum title that any input must be "on topic"
Anyone posting in general chat continues to run the risk of there thread venturing off topic but hey its ok and expected because the correct place for any serious discussion is "ON TOPIC GENERAL CHAT" simple eh

Well arent u the clever one this would mean u could eliminate Soap Opera and use the new titles instead
Definitely a solution to a problem and there can be no confusion

touching on what ber said i always thought that the general chat was for escort related stuff (even though it was called general chat) and everything else went to soap maybe there should be a new forum listing called GENERAL ESCORT CHAT.

yes. This is exactly the way it should be imo.

Ber you stole my thunder that was my next "point" once the new "ON TOPIC GENERAL CHAT" forum had been created
There would be no confusion given that anyone thinking of a "reply" would have to be "on topic"

I believe u should forward this idea to the board managers

I had intended posting on ber's OFF TOPIC thread but as my post was littered with ON TOPICS i rightly presumed that some smart ass would say OI thats off topic and took the safe option

This is a good discussion, I have had a similar debate on this with the mods about some of the threads. It may be a good idea to rename some of the forums to make them more appropriate.

Soap Opera is useless or worse. Not many people are going to post in a section which is labeled "Off topic ramblings, over the top drama...". Lately it's been used to bury threads that a mod doesn't like, but hopefully the managers will put a stop to that.

Well in that case could someone please enlighten me what Soap Opera is for?
My understanding is that General Chat was for topics whatever they maybe that are
intended to be of a serious nature and that Soap Opera was for the other stuff
Well u wont know what post is about unless u read it, generally if something was
in Soap Opera i wouldnt bother

Well to my understanding it was created to put troublesome topics in there at a time when ppl were maggoted and restricted to the Soap Opera. As time went on the maggoting went, other means of dealing with troublesome posts came along and the Soap Opera sort of between a mix of drama topics and sort of fun type topics.

The prob i have with things being put into the Soap Opera is that they wont be seen.

A soultion would be to scrap the Soap Opera and rename it say "The Joke Park" or something and make it more visible and have the gen chat resevered strictly for escort related business. However if this was done i would like to the the re named Soap Opera move up to under the gen chat so its more visible to all.
