It doesn't matter. If no one wants to read it or respond then oh well.

But no, the high and mighty Oracles want to take it upon themselves to slice and dice even the friggin lounge.

Actually, we are hoping for threads that people can read the title, and then it is easier for them to decide if they want to participate in that discussion.  It makes it so much easier that way.

Not sure about the high and mighty Oracles comment but when the opportunity arises you should apply if you feel things need changing

 @ShawnC13 : Please post from the guide du Oracle where it says to keep all threads in any and all categories ruthlessly on topic. I can abide doing so after some reasonable leniency (subjective judgment call of course) in the main categories...but this is the frickin' Lounge.

Here...I'll spot you the T&C's:

Try to keep support-related threads on topic. Want to have an off-topic discussion about something else? The Lounge is the best spot for that.

@Anonymous did I say ruthlessly on the topic?  Just because it is the lounge doesn't mean one thread should cover anything.  I was actually thinking if it was broken off to its own thread about Vaccination Discussion more people might join in on it.  How many people are going to think oh I will look in the Unofficial Rewards Announcement thread for a discussion on vaccines?  Doesn't it make sense to have it as its own item to encourage more engagement?

Edited to add:  The Guide du Oracle you mention is in Martin's Corner of the community where stuff like this gets discussed with PM management

Lol....go for it! We regulars have gotten very good at detecting exactly how many off topic posts it takes to split a thread. Not that we did it on purpose or anything......but you'll wreck @Anonymous very effective campaign at getting people to get their vaccine.🤕

While I do hope that everyone gets the vaccine, there should be no ranting or shaming of any decision someone makes for themselves.

EDITED TO ADD:

@darlicious how do you know it has been effective?  Have people been going into vaccine clinics saying "I am here because z10user4 said to on the Public Mobile Community"?

It won't pass by if the thread continues to go off-topic.  Even in the Lounge we can keep things on topic or just start a new thread it is that easy.
