On behalf of the staff I would like to thank everyone who participated in this discussion. Your comments and suggestions were invaluable to us in re-writing Rule #12 to remove the perceived conflict.

After the last post of discussion within this thread the staff began their deliberations to work out the final wording.

The Forum Rules now read:

Rule #12
- Off Topic Threads & Posts -
a) The topic of discussion on X Marks is the kilt. Threads or posts not related to the kilt are restricted to either the Events or Community Forums.
b) Posts to existing threads must keep to the topic set by the Original Poster (OP). Posts which take a thread off the original topic may be removed.

This thread is now closed.
