Fair enough. While I couldn't care less about the crazy burger pics (so long as it's on topic and not offensive), you're correct about the whack behavior. Please behave nicely towards each other. However, I'd still prefer that a deals forum thread focused on deals and was not used as the discussion thread.
I understand that, but so what if that's true? You all are pc gamers and as such, you don't need spoon-feeding; you know how to bookmark a page, use a forum search engine, and how to subscribe to a thread. You can easily move the chatter to the discussion forum, and when there's a deal, post it in here. When you log in, check your subscriptions and if you see that the deals thread has an update, pop in to see if it's any good. If not, just keep up with each other in the Steam Discussion thread.
Who ever complained, it was about malicious posts, not about being off topic. I came in to check the "malicious" posts, and when I did, *I* saw that there was as much off-topic chatter as on-topic. So don't be angry at the tattler for anything other than being sensitive to whatever was reported in the first place. If anyone is upset at my requesting that you all keep a deals forum thread about deals, be angry at me, and me alone.
As Hal pointed out, Cheapy appreciates the site traffic and referral and ad clicks. So don't worry about being "strictly moderated." This thread isn't on any kind of watch list. I'm simply making a request of you all, the same as I'd do if my attention was brought to another thread and i noticed similar off-topic behavior in a Deals Forum thread.
And with that, I'll leave you all yourselves.
