you may not care but i wouldn't be called in here to stop the chit chat if it's not bothering other people.

they're not the same threads. one is strictly deals, one is strictly chat. one is in hot deals, one is in the lounge. the last post date is a non-issue. apparently, it's been forgotten.

like i said. users here have a choice. take it to pm, talk in the lounge forum or just simply be removed from this thread.
You guys obviously can do whatever you want to do but that rule for this thread dates back to when things were a lot different as far as AWD/thread activity. Other than now and then, it's basically dead. Lots if not most other longer-term threads like this don't restrict casual related conversation between members. Not sure why this one was put into some unusual status to begin with. Seems the easier solution at this point to what I expect is a very few if even more than one person complaining about a few incidental posts would be for them to simply unsubscribe the thread.

I'll probably be in trouble for writing this and continuing the sidebar conversation, but I agree with you 100%. My "off-topic discussion" is actually relevant to the thread because it seems like less and less people are posting the AWD deals these days. Learning the ropes on how to track items more effectively would actually allow me (and others) to find more deals so that we can contribute to this thread to keep it alive. But I guess none of that is my business... Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

And the reason I'm not posting deals in this thread anymore. I love how these people complain but never contribute to the thread. No reason to take into account what the people who do the work to find the deals and share them want. Have fun finding your own deals whiners. LMAO

AWD is dead. Amazon's pricing structure is crazy now that there's no MSRP's on some stuff making percent off searches irrelevant. It's over for now

welcome to the lounge wave

don't assume that the people who are irritated with the excessive chit chat are not regular contributors. i'm not going to disclose who's irritated nor will i out the person they mod alerted.

as you can see, this has been an issue since the beginning. this lounge thread alone is dated two years ago. even the title said "limited off topic"

it hasn't been "limited" recently. it's been excessive.

mods don't have time to babysit a mega thread for trivial stuff like cleaning up off topic. we can either remove it or kindly ask that you use another thread. if we remove it, people cry censorship. if we ask you to use another thread, we're asking for a compromise.

i also have an option to friendly-warn but i won't. that's over the top on my part.

so.

can we just compromise? all i'm saying is take it to pm or come use this thread. if kohls, victoria's secret, marlboro contest/mega thread people, etc., can do this, you can too.

C'mon... This is the first day that I've seen 10 non-deal posts when logging in for months if not longer. You can look back through the thread to see that's the case. People even do the tedious "find a deal in order to post" nonsense just to answer other posts. lol

And the posts that you're tagging as being 'chit-chat' while not being deals per se arguably were generally on-topic as far as how such deals for this thread are found. It wasn't some completely random chatting.

Not intending to argue with you as far as enforcing the rule. It is what it is and you're doing your job. Just seems kind of trivial and unnecessary at this point. I could understand it if it were the OP or the larger group of active users were saying so but that's not the case.

So can we active users just make another thread in the main forum for AWD deals with chat permitted? Anyone who wants the peace and quiet of deals only and no talking otherwise can stick with the old one.

we generally do not allow chit-chat in the deals forum because it derails the thread.

this is true with every thread in deals discussion.
