Off Topic Forum

[Xzen]

I think it would create more problems, because in an off topic board, most people think they should post whatever they want and that's gonna lead to offending someone. Seriously, how often do people make an off topic thread in the General Discussion boards? Not that often.

@ AdvancedWind A bunch of people have. You don't see them because the mods have to delete them. They don't even post in them.

We have all of our threads now that are 80% people attacking and offending each other. It doesn't sound much different.

Yeah, but we're usually talking about the game.

I've seen plenty of harmless off topic threads locked and deleted. That's more work than it has to be.

At least they're offending each other because of FFXIV and not because of last week's sport results.

Look, I'm not going to say that an off-topic forum is by itself a bad idea, but it would generate far too much work for something that's clearly not needed at all. Anyone who wants to discuss off-topic stuff with FFXIV players can go to any fansite.

Believe, it's much easier to delete off-topic threads in the general discussion forum then making a whole new area needing moderation.

Not really. They reduce the number of violations they have to deal with to just harassment. It's the same principal behind the decriminalization of certain substances.
