Sometimes a thread derailing into a discussion isnt always a bad thing. People can learn from the discussion even if its not always directly related. It happens a bit too often agreed but it isn't always intentionally disruptive and parties involved don't normally deserve infraction points for doing it. Sometimes it can be simply someone posting for help and others sharing their experience with a similar issue and then a small discussion ensues about other peoples experiences because on sites like this, many are keen to share their interests and opinions with others if they can relate. But I agree when arguments break out and people begin trolling on other peoples threads it can be an issue.
A simple... 'this thread is off topic, lets get it back on track' really ought to be enough for our more responsible members to get the message and only those intentionally being malicious ought to get warnings of any official sort. Or perhaps if the thread creator complains.
Amibay is and needs to remain as friendly a place as possible. We're not nazi law enforcers after all
There's a fine line between enforcing rules and being unfair to peoples expression of opinion. IMO the mods are doing a brilliant job as things are.
