How about a simple check box of "Only show posts from WC Forums" in the options area? Simple enough resolve to this issue don't you think?

When I go to my forum of choice which happens to be WinCustomize I do two things before I go and read a thread, first is I look at the thread title and next is it's category.  I find that pretty much keeps me from reading what might be called nuisance threads.  Yes I occasionally get taken to a thread that wasn't something I was concerned about. 

I'm not all that concerned about the cross posting issue, if fact I'm sure if a problem is being seen in or on one forum it will show up on all, so being informed isn't all that bad.

Just my take on the whole thing. 

EDIT:  Just thought of one other thing I look at, the nick of the poster.  Most of the folks who hang out in the WinCustomize forums recognize nicks of WinCustomizers.

I wouldn't worry about the new topics, WinCustomites have already hijacked them

John...

There is no point objecting.

There is no point in commenting.

This is part of an intricate plan to force you to skin more.

Resistance is futile.

Common sense:

-Threads that arent posted by Wincustomizers or isn´t about stuff relevant to The WC-community should be gone or we should have an easy fix to have them filtered away.

How do we discern what's relevant to the WC community? What you consider relevant, maybe I don't. There have been posts about things that I don't feel have anything to do with this site, the recent death of Harry Morgan being one of them (not having a go at you, Doc, just using it as an example .) The thread didn't bother me, but you're talking about things being relevant, and to me, that wasn't. So where do we draw the line in the sand?

Isn't the whole point of   Last person to post wins, unless they are a moderator or admin. a Sins of a Solar Empire Forums thread that's popping up here to be LOCKED by the mods? I mean, that's the entire purpose of the thread is overpost and keep bumping it until a mod gets annoyed enough to lock it thus creating a 'winner'?

Sorry, but this is not really a big deal.  There's not going to be a feature to remove posts put in, and the posts from another forum are minor in comparison to everything else.  There's a ton of things I want fixed and added to this site, a couple forum posts from "gamers" is at the very bottom of importance on my list.

Here's the WC talk area filled with a bunch of posts not really related to skinning or WC.  That's what a general forum is for, for general things.

Here is the most recent list:

Two threads of "everything else" is not something to get a wad about.  Everything else is general postings, so it's going to stay.

Part of the job is news. Granted, this wasn't WC news... but some old timers felt it meant something.... the patriotic posts, family matters, health, birthdays etc. all come with that.

However, those things are what really makes a community a community and more than just a group with a common interest in GUI graphics.

That's completely subjective. "One man's Mede is another's Persian."

Learning to use and take advantage of Forums' multiple possible avenues of approach is a good thing.

My point exactly. Which is why something having to be relevant will ultimately cause nothing but issues. It's like trying to censor things: where do we stop when it comes to deciding what people should see and hear. Just because one person, or group of people thinks something is offensive or not for the betterment of the species/society/internet or whatever, it doesn't mean they're right or that others should be denied the right to have their own opinion and say in the matter.

Filters would be a great idea, but how do you make it so they define someones idea of relevant? There have to be parameters. How many filters will it take to get what is considered relevant?

Guess again! Just kidding, Philly.

You're right. The decision has been made. I'm off to shoot stuff in the face.

So, does anyone know what needs to modded to stop a scout pausing when it enters a gravity well?
