Title: Help distinguishing between chat and insta-ban channels.
Post by: zircher on September 06, 2022, 12:09:20 PM
I see on some channels/form threads you can get insta-banned for going off topic while on others it is perfectly fine to goof off.  Unfortunately, there is no easy at-a-glance way to distinguish which channels are serious and which are casual.

Is there anything that the forum admins can do to color code the channels or something?  I would hate to get banned simply for cracking a joke in the wrong place.

You could just read the whole thread before commenting....

That can still trip me up, threads that I thought were casual turned out not to be.

You are not going to get banned unless you repeatedly derail threads after being told not to do so.

Having just been threatened with a ban on a no-warning thread, I'd like to second this request. The only thread I'm aware of a general warning on is the Guide to Woke Companies one.
