There are few good discussions that are moved to off-topic. Example are 2FA topics like this one: Best 2FA applications to use. Open source, free, secure. Better than Google's

But off-topic board is truly full of trash topics and discussions which is the main reason most campaign managers are not accepting discussions on the board.
This forum is not primarily about signature campaigns payments which makes your request not valid. Off-topic is very useful which is the board off-topic topics are moved.

I have been wondering why we have Off-topic board in the forum. Moderators do move post or threads that are not relevant to the forum to the off topics section, since it doesn't really count especially those members who are in the sig campaign because no sig member I have seen post there, what's the essence of keeping it? Nobody goes there to post and earn merit or anything serious is happening there, nothing counts in that section, why not remove it totally from the board so that whenever we don't see our post we know it has been deleted completely from the forum. I said I should ask because it doesn't really count as an important section to the forum.
If you say that no signature campaign allow off-topic post then you are wrong for example if you check the Bitvest Signature campaign then you will see there is no any rules that in off-topic board post will not qualify. And you will also be wrong if you say there no campaign participants posts in off-topic. They posts but in lower amount because most of the campaign don't allow off-topic post which was don't relevant to cryptocurrency.I haven't seen, like I do check some of these campaign rules maybe not all but is hard to find campaigns I mean serious campaigns that do allow post in that section. Find let's say we have sig campaign that allow, if we have 10 sig campaigns in the forum I believe is only 1 or 2 that accept it but understand that off topic section is like a garbage zone where things that are been discarded are kept. Ok as side from the campaign you mentioned how many others are allowing members to post in that section and it counts to meet up post quoter? And you'd agree with me that is pointless posting in that section except you're not in any campaign.
They move topics that are not relevant to the initial board it was posted in, not entirely because it wasn't relevant to the forum. If the post wasn't relevant to the forum it would be deleted, not moved.
I get that a lot of nonsense post are made there but so is mostly every other board in the forum. It's a discussion forum after all, you just have to pick what's useful for you and learn or educate, the difference is it's worst in the "off topic" board.
If you've bothered to read the description you'll see that it says "other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners". So it's not totally irrelevant.

Do you have any problem with the off-topic section? All non-related to crypto will always moved to off-topic and I think the reason why we have this section is that some people want to talk about any nonsense or non-crypto-related topics that they want to discuss.
If you have a problem with this section and don't want to see this board then you can go to your profile and then "Ignore Boards Preferences" and look for that section and mark it check.

Nobody goes there to post and earn merit or anything serious is happening there, nothing counts in that section,
Have you tried visiting the board? I'm not sure you have. That because if you did you would have seen by now that there are some members who even post on that board some constructive post that earn a good number merit. The off topic board isn't as useless as you said, as it's a board for discussion not relating to the forum, Bitcoin, economy or cryptocurrency at large. Such post might be health, food, transportation or whatever you might consider not amongst those I listed.

If you are caught spamming unsubstantial posts just to farm or rank up your account your account(s) will be immediately permabanned without warning.
