I made a thread today about an hour or so ago. I made it for the purposes of having a thoughtful and constructive discussion, as you may see from the first post I made in that thread.
However, no one else commenting in that thread is even acknowledging the first post or the title of the thread, and aren't even discussing at all the main topic intended for that thread. I've even asked them twice to stop what they were doing and to contribute to the main topic of the thread if they wanted to contribute at all.
This is thread hijacking, this is what turns forums intended for thoughtful discussion into troll forums.
What I'm proposing here is that this action be penalized, that those who contribute to thread hijacking are dealt with three strikes; Two warnings, and then a 24-hour ban. This will help keep Popedia from becoming another Vestibule.
