I have been wondering why we have Off-topic board in the forum. Moderators do move post or threads that are not relevant to the forum to the off topics section, since it doesn't really count especially those members who are in the sig campaign because no sig member I have seen post there, what's the essence of keeping it? Nobody goes there to post and earn merit or anything serious is happening there, nothing counts in that section, why not remove it totally from the board so that whenever we don't see our post we know it has been deleted completely from the forum. I said I should ask because it doesn't really count as an important section to the forum.
Do not underrate the off topic board. Let me believe that you have not visited there, maybe a few of your post have removed to the off topic board and you feel bad about it. I will just advise you to spear for you minutes of your time to visit that board and read the contents therein. It is then that you will understand that some users will just go to the off topic board and create topic for discussion. There are a lot of general discussion that teaches new knowledge in the off topic board. Also according to the description in the office topic board, you will understand that the board is as important as every other board in the forum. Without the off topic board, every other boards would be affected with unrelated topics. Deleting the posts instead of moving them to the off topic board as you suggested will reduce freedom of expression.
