It's not a big deal. I'm just saying that I find it odd that I have to turn serious-mode on if I want a serious thread when in a discussion forum I'd expect serious-mode to already be on by default.
It's--again--not a big deal. But it would make more sense to me to not need the tag and to just have seriousness be default on a discussion site like this ... and then maybe have the off-topic subforum be the exception to the rule.
The reason the rule was instituted is that a lot of threads were 1) going wildly off track, and 2) devolving into little more than an exchange of insults. The rule hasn't been 100% effective, but it has helped.
