How to Stay on Topic
#1

To put it into context, one of the policies of this website is to promote the staying on topic as declared by Administrator Deutschmark in this Announcement:

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=28408


In harmony with the above to ensure staying on topic, I urge everyone:


1) Avoid unnecessary criticism of other members, especially steering the conversation off topic.

2) Refrain from defending yourself when it is clear that it will keep dragging the discussion off topic.

3) Keep issues from the past in the past, not spilling into a current topic.


Many people do not seem to realize that they are often going off topic to take the above stances. At that point, it becomes a never ending cycle which will at the very least result in the topic being locked.

Be fair to everyone.


Fireskull, Administrator

OK, I have seen the error of my ways, although perhaps it was not best to have done this to Skull's topic.
On the other hand, this is a great example of 'what not to do...' so I'll leave it here for the rest of the community to see :mrgreen:
