So we've gotten enough stray threads that most of us didn't think were appropriate for OT.

Then when an [s]admin[/s] moderator spoke up and said it actually does fit kind of highlighted a communication/definition error between the admins, the frequent others and the new users as for what each forum is meant for.

Currently from what I gather the general OT community defines it as this

OT = Serious/Long debates on topics and issues
Spam = It's spam, anything silly, for fun or with little point goes here
Members Lounge = General chat and hangout that wishes to remain calm and not part of the spam community

This is something both admins and members' I think will need to discuss if we can to reach a clear definition.
And hopefully the next site update can involve updated descriptions (or sub-forums?) for these sections to clarify the difference so we get less miss-postings or confusion in the future?
