Have moderators decided that going off topic is now not allowed? If this is the case then why don´t they enforce it in other threads, or is it, as usual, a case of picking a rule from the tree when it suits them...
--When Erdinc was mod in that section I well remember Catwoman informing him that he was not to moderate the discussion forums.
I don´t mean to be rude but when reading this, a quote from Samantha from Sex and the City came to my mind:
Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they CAN.
Sorry I couldnt refrain from it 
Well, I moderate forums whenever I am online, and the reason I decided to say this is the fact that it became TOTALLY off topic, it was rather a different topic that, I thought, was better, and worth enough, to be treated in a different thread. And if you are really interested in discussing THAT topic, not in just discussing OFF topic ( ) you would not mind at all and just continue discussing in the thread meltem has opened. Its true that there isnt a full consistency in how forums are moderated, due to the fact that all people who do are volunteers and therefore not monitoring forums 24/7, or in which topics are moderated how strictly. Currently we are trying to find a way to moderate sensitive topics, of which we think they should not be that sensitive, but of which we also have seen they escalate. Sorry if a little clumsiness comes along with that, but we all do our best.
As a last, I did not intend it as ´Ohh you naughty pupils, you didnt listen to your teacher, now the headmaster came in´.  I treated Caliptrix´ suggestion as I would have with any other member who noticed it. I didnt take his comment as a moderating comment anyway.
