Does it bother you if threads go off topic?

Or if people make off topic posts in threads?

It would also appear that a lot of reporting could be being done by lurkers......so, maybe another avenue is to ask if only participants in a thread can report posts?

What makes you think that it appears that way ?

Something along the lines of:

Dear Moderators,

a number of threads are being decimated of late by the removal of posts for going off topic.
This is contrary to the best interests of the majority who welcome different perspectives and lateral viewpoints, the actual purpose of a discussion. 
Especially as it appears from discussions between thread participants that it is non participating persons who are doing most of the off-topic reporting.

I would like to propose that only persons who have contributed to a thread be allowed to report posts as off-topic.

Thanks in advance, Donna

It's always been a possibility hasn't it ? When someone says something 'appears' to be happening  that usely means that there is something that shows that to be the case ?

In my experience those doing the reporting for hostile and interpersonal diputing are casuing the issues here, telling fibs.....
