Just curious. Has there ever been a thread that hasn't been hijacked with off-topic conversation or arguing? Maybe there should be a couple new threads called "Off topic" and "argumentative". Members could report a reply that is either to the moderators and they would review it. If it's off topic or argumentative, the moderators would move it to either one that applies. Imagine a thread that just contained positive feedback on the titles topic......
Forum members have always had the right (some would say responsibility, too) to report off topic posts or any post that violates Forum rules. Staff has the ability to delete or move any post (or thread) if they deem the content warrants it. That's actually one of only three real ongoing responsibilities of Forum staff. They aren't here to answer questions or address any problems with the game. Their responsibilities are:
A) To monitor the conversations that take place, including checking on any reported posts, and take such actions as necessary. CMs and CCMs have the ability to ban posters. Moderators (when they have them) only have the ability to delete or move posts/threads.
B) Post such Announcements as Inno provides them with.
C) Pass along any feedback they feel is appropriate to the next level up in the chain.
