Lost our way?

[Stefan-A]

First, could we have a section of the site that is FOR off topic posts... and then moderators would remind members not to place off topic posts anywhere else.

That would be the Lounge.

Next, could we have a check-able delete box next to each entry in the "unread posts" so that we can check the boxes of the threads we don't want to read, and delete them all in one action?

Why not just read the ones that you want to and then mark the rest as read? I can't say I've ever used the function, though.

And finally, the moderators would go into the off topic post area and delete threads after they have gone one month without a new message?

A lot of potentially useful information would be lost. Is it worth it? I know I search through old, seemingly useless threads every single day.

Just a couple of counter-arguments.
