Arrow Make OT Posts Count Again!

Why not just build a separate TOW sub-forum, and make posts not count there? That way, in OT, where there is often valid contribution, post credit is earned.

I disagree. Leave it as is. Too many 'meaningful' OT posts turn into a TOW.

So what? Numerous threads deviate off topic, should those not count either? Due to the popularity of TOW on this forum (I personally could care less about it but many think otherwise) at least try it out, so we can have our "meaningful" OT posts count again. TOW is only a marginal percentage of OT, after all.

Although we are extremely smart and good looking, our powers are limited. That decision is up to the Admins, not the Mods.
