Dude you think the OTFers that post brainrot consistantly are going to move to clubs? Hell no! They're prolly gonna move into gen discussion and flood that. Keep 'em in OTF and maybe they'll start talking about cool stuff instead of posting slop.

No one is going to position, this is stupid

"hell no" isn't bannable. I didn't say it with intent to harm anyone or verbally abuse them. It was just to emphasize/exaggerate my writing.
Yeah, I agree.

Look, I agree with you about the brainrot. There is a metric ton of it that festers on OTF. There's a ton of seemingly useless forums, some with use, some not. Does that constitute the elimatation/deletion/any form of removal of OTF? No, not by itself. There's better solutions than the complete removal of OTF. Think of it this way; A game adds a chatroom feature. Players from across servers can converse and interact with each-other, fortifying the community. Slowly, though, the chat starts to devolve, turning into mindless banter and insult hurling at any point. The feature itself was a success, the use is what made it bad. The solution? Create STRICTER rules and ENFORCE them. On OTF, there's practically no rules, so you can post god knows what and get away with it, as long as it abides by TOS while also breaking the norms of other gen chess topics. If chess.com were to implement stricter rules, and place mods there to actively enforce the rules, we could see improvement. People would be forced to move into clubs to post their subpar content, thus removing the clutter, and conversations with value/NOT BRAINROT conversations could occur. I have a set of rules that I'd like to propose, but there's no right way of going about it. The removal would be too far, so I think just setting and enforcing rules would help a ton.
-------------------
TLDR: Don't remove, but make stricter rules and enforce them. If you read the entire post, my thanks, otherwise, thanks for at least taking a glance at my ideas.
That is literally a whole essay. Bro.
I can tell

Hey, we wanna talk about something else other than chess, because it's really boring if we only talk about chess in forums. Besides, all, if not, most foruns have off-topic forums for people to talk about different stuff. Sure there are some very boring and repetitive threads, but some are actually original and pretty good for anyone who's interested in it.
Wouldn’t off topic discussions migrate to chess discussions?
