in reply to Define "On Topic" for the Monastery

I would be delegate this question to the janitors. Do they feel a call to action on this topic? Because the burden of enforcing it, beyond moderation, falls to them.

If Perlmonks decides to get more formal in its definition of off-topic, I'd suggest the following:

  • Add "Off Topic" as a moderation selection, as an alternative to "Approve" or "Frontpage"
  • Add "Off Topic" as consideration category, an alternative to keep/edit/reap/nada
  • Allow users a selection to suppress nodes designated OT. This could be as simple as posting possible CSS language
  • Updated to strike out OT stuff - what irony!

    Should "off topic" be an additional moderation option ...

    Not bad ideas, but I'm not trying to address solutions/implementations in this thread.
