The Future of Off-Topic

[Humility]

No, seriously, I thought it was people who seek to make a thread go off-topic or seek to simply make people mad, but the definition seems to be a bit broader then that. Mainly I was just skimming over some threads here and I saw people being called trolls when all I saw was use of a few logical fallacies. Namely the appeal to ridicule and sometimes ad-hominem. But thats to be expected. People get too competitive, their pride gets hurt and they get desperate. Or they are just in a bad mood and snap a bit.

I don't think that calls for accusations of trolling.

This idea is great an all and I support it, but I think perhaps the reasoning is a bit weak. The OT seems to be suffering more from a rash of disinterest, frustration and boredom then actual trolling.

Edit: This is the thread to debate the reasoning of this action right? Even if not debating the action itself?
