Default A thought on OffTopic...

And pardon me if it's already been suggested...

When a post is marked as OffTopic, could the subject be prefaced with OT: (unless it already has OT.) I think this would make it easier for people to identify an off topic post since the end position of the subject line will vary with subject length. This way it's easy to scan for the off topic messages.

Default You mean that you'd only read the OT content of a forum?

Or vice versa - cause you can choose not to view OT content in your preferences. Also FYI - a little OT icon is in the works to make OT posts more discernable AKAIK.

Default Well, maybe....

Some Off Topic discussions are interesting, some are not. Depends on my mood. I always show moderated/off topic posts. Sometimes I skip over them sometimes I don't.

As for the icon, I have simple HTML turned on, so the icon isn't of use. I will see text, even when the icon is created.
