Chad's list ignores the elephant in the livingroom — off-topic threads about off-topic posts. I have no intention of counting and measuring, but my hunch is that the biggest bandwidth wasters of late are threads like these where people bitch and counter-bitch about off-topic posts. The angst over "post-appropriateness" seems to take (waste?) far more time than the off-topic threads themselves.

I vote for Steve Gran's suggestion that serial offenders be addressed off-list.


again, seconded (thirded?).
