Renaming Random Ramblings

Post #1

Post by ElCodeMonkey »

I feel as if labeling all the would-be prophets' and preachers' sermons as "random rambling" is a bit insensitive and hostile. Especially since they're usually new to the forum and don't realize how things operate. I think this immediately sparks rage that their words are so dismissed and "mis"categorized that they blind themselves to rationality. Might it be better to rename it to something more fitting like "Non-Compliant Posts" that simply state the nature of the issue without adding judgement to the content of the post?

What about "Everything else" or "Discussion, preaching, and everything else"?

IMHO, I think "Non-Compliant Posts" could be viewed just as 'hostile' to newbies.

Or how about "miscellaneous topics", that is, things that don't fit anywhere else. Surely that wouldn't offend anyone.

I really like the title random ramblings. It holds a soft spot for me for some reason. I say let people be offended.
