Earlier there's a thread whinging about posters starting threads with titles that are at best uninformative or worse, deliberately deceptive. I'm rapidly getting sick of clicking threads with reasonably promising titles only to find the posts are either way off the topic of the OP's title, or have degenerated into me-too fanboism or worse, drivel.
And I'm going to whinge about people straying off-topic - for example we have a thread entitled "Next Solar Eclipse" but some undisciplined people have shanghaied this to discuss the possible position of some uninteresting dim faint fuzzball of a comet, complete with images of where it isn't.
Now, is IIS moderated, or not ? I'm rapidly gaining the impression it isn't.
If it is, those posts should be removed. There are many others guilty of same.
