    I should really have said go back to ‘Forums’. There are two major headings under ‘Forums’: ‘Footy forums’ (which you are looking at) and ‘Other stuff not footy’. ‘Open chat’ is under the second heading.

    Open chat is a mythical place few have ever been to. If you do find it, you'll be very lonely there.

    It's where all efforts to challenge mind-numbing stupidity go to die.

    if you start at the url RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com (ie the forums homepage), it is very easy to see all the forums available to posters - AFL, local footy, technical help forum, competitions forum as well as Open Chat and the Sandpit.

    I've never understood why some people find it so hard to navigate to these forums. Plenty of other posters do find them.

    It's where posters can discuss anything not to do with football, and thus leave the main footy forum free for just footy talk, something a large number of our posters much prefer. (We know because they've told us so.)

    Yep. Like I said.

    No one goes to open chat, even fewer can find it, and sure as the sun sets in the west, no one discusses anything there.

    Mods, time to re-align with reality and just delete the posts/threads you don't like.

    I have never understood why there is a problem. I read RWO through Tapatalk on an iPad. I get all discussions into my feed. So all new posts - from any part of RWO including Open chat, NSW footy, AFLW etc, etc - automatically appear in my ‘unread’ stream.

    It’s years since I have viewed RWO through the website - but isn’t there a similar way to see headings of all new posts in RWO through the web as well?

    If you're someone who chooses not to navigate to other forums, posts and threads moved to more appropriate forums are already effectively deleted for you. To completely delete them would deny the ability of those who do choose to navigate to other forums to continue the discussions there.

    Posts and thread aren't deleted (or moved) according to whether the moderating team likes them or not. They are deleted or moved in accordance with the published forum posting guidelines, which are quite clearly published at the top of every forum.

    Well not quite nobody - but if few read them, then that probably indicates few are interested in them on a footy site.

    RWO doesn't have the traffic to warrant sub forums. That is why no one goes there.

    Just be honest, and delete posts you don't like rather than put on this charade of 'other forums'
