OT is a virtue, too. OT can be the life of a forum.
If you don't like a thread's subject matter, then don't open & peruse the thread. Even less should one sacrifice the precious personal time needed to post a response to a useless thread.
If some members want to spend the next 50 pages of this thread posting cat pictures & joking with each other: then that's their business. They aren't hurting anybody.......except perhaps to upset a few forumite purists.
This forum's culture doesn't follow the tastes of people who come in & start making demands. Regardless of whether the demands are for tighter rules (as some would like to see -- as defined by their tastes, of course) -- or for no rules at all (as some others come in and demand from time to time).
I say what I like -- within the bounds of the TOS. And other forum members have the privilege to do the same -- within the bounds of the TOS. Cat pictures and all.
Of course: you can always contact the administration, and request that posting cat pictures be made into a violation of the TOS -- resulting in automatic banning.
But on my part: I suggest more cat pictures be posted to this thread. Many more.
