Hello, everyone. As has come to my attention, some users do not understand what the word "miscellaneous", along with the entire Miscellaneous forum itself, represents.


A direct definition of "miscellaneous" could be "Anything that does not correspond to any certain niche".
The Miscellaneous forum is for any threads that don't belong in any other forum.


What Miscellaneous isn't is "that forum where you can talk about whatever the hell you want in whatever thread you want".

You can talk about something like, say, Christmas, but you can't go into a Christmas thread and talk about, say, Minecraft (unless you're, for example, getting a Minecraft account for Christmas, in which case you can briefly discuss it, but not too long). There are still topics within these threads, be they Pokemon or My Little Pony, which means talking about something else that is completely unrelated within that thread is going off-topic, and discouraged, because it leads to useless posts.
Now, think twice about what you post.


However, doing this doesn't mean you can't still have fun!
Just have fun discussing a common idea.


Understand? Good. Thank you for your time.

We should un-sticky some threads. Not trying to sound nit-picky but...

Nice thread! Sticky request!

On topic- Good thread.

Do I have time to check every single thread for every single off-topic post? No. Which is exactly why this thread was made. To prevent those posts, instead of having to hunt them down every time.

That means you too Kylie. :U

But Miscellaneous doesn't mean post pointless topics about your life, or video game stuff.
WE HAVE A GAMING FORUM FOR A REASON!

So you're saying a natural occurrence of the human mind is to babble like an idiot about something no one in a certain setting cares about? Makes sense.


Off-topic posts that I see get removed. Simple as that. If it continues, I use the Deleter, the same way I treat the rest of the spam.

People will back off for a few days. Then they'll forget about this completely and continue making out-of-place topics.

Sonic, that's just... just...

What I was really trying to say:
People will agree but continue posting off things anyway. There is simply no way we can stop this.
This is a great topic, but there is simply no way to stop people from breaking this rule. :/
Maybe, since this is stickied, it'll draw more attention, but we should figure that everybody will start up again in a few days.
But like I said before, its stickied, so hopefully people will read this.

This is your second damn topic about this.

Eith unsticky and delete this, or unsticky amd delete the one about personal threads.

You've stickied two threads that are your own in the timespan of a month. Face it, 3DSPlaza is plagued. There's nothing you can do about it, so CUT THE CRAP.

I know the pattern. Threads are unstickied and are completely disregarded. The threads that are stickied address important issues. This is one of them.

Cool, the stickied section is smaller! Nice job :D
