Off-topic replies have become a big problem.

...and to report them ASAP

Please report off-topic posts as soon as you see them.

It might not be correct, but I recall this mess started because someone reported tecshare's post and moderator removed it, then he created more off topic posts and someone reported more of his off topic replies and moderators removed them.

So, he complained about it, accused moderator Flying Hellfish that he is censoring him, then he accused moderator for not related thing. When nutildah pointed that, tech trolled nutildah, then other users stepped in to tell him that he is wrong then he trolled other users as well, and, as number of users which told him that he is wrong increased, he created conspiracy theory that there is some "gang" shit going on. His constant trolling and deflecting and gaming default trust resulted in some negative and some neutrals as well, so it must be something going on.

Of course, moderators removing his off topic replies didn't stop him from deflecting more threads, posting more off topic content resulted in more of his posts reported and removed (as well as off topic replies of other forum members) and as he already formed conspiracy theory in his head, this just "proved his theory", now he "knows" the "gang" is "on him". In process, he posted one of his removed posts in wrong thread (harassing me btw). Finally, he created another thread to complain about his removed off topic replies, locked it down and said:

Feel free to make another REEE: Thread if me having the ability to speak in this thread bothers you so much. This will remain locked to prevent topic sliding, since it is only a log of incidents.

So nutildah created another thread and techare is now 100% sure there is some kind of conspiracy going on. If user agree with him it is OK then, but if user disagree, problem start - expect that you will be accused of conspiring with "clown car gang".

The truth is - there is no conspiracy. Techare should stop off-topicing and trolling, no one will report his posts and no one will remove his posts then.
