Off-Topic Sheriff Conscription

Off-topic discussion/chat/argue area with special rules of engagement.
Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

Who do you want to be the next Off-Topic Sheriff?

Three people (so important for this place after all) are equally good. This is great news and I would like to congratulate you on it. :thumbup: One of the proposed solutions may be cyclical chairmanship, e.g. every 2 - 4 months. Everyone will be appreciated, the stress associated with additional work is spread over several people, while minimizing the possible feeling of burnout associated with this task. Congratulations once again to such a perfectly selected team. :clap:

Er, we haven't been selected or anything. AFAIK the forum software also only allows for one sub-forum moderator at a time.

Since it is a three way tie, maybe a tiebreaker of some sort is needed.

As for me, I (and maybe others) might have inadvertently caused a problem since I did "not" vote in this poll.

We've been doing without for months and it seems to be fine; also, I never asked for this.
I'm fine with Admin keeping an eye on breaking of the separate and loose rules for off-topic as he's been doing, and otherwise not having a dedicated mod here.
