Anybody thinking that too many discussions are getting quite Lumia and Windows Phone related posts? Out of context, those posts easily degenerate into unproductive confrontation. In a right context though, I'm sure they could nurture interesting discussions just like many other non-Maemo related threads in this maemo.org forum.

Would any moderator second the idea of moving those posts out of context to a Lumia or Windows Phone (or whatever configuration you prefer) misc thread under the Competitors sub-forum?

If you agree on doing this then any user could report any post out of context requesting to move it to the threads under Competitors.

Yup, I have actually been moving a lot of "Nokia" (company) discussions to Off-topic. Yes, Lumia discussions should be under Competitors.

Reggie, just to be clear: I mean Lumia / WP related posts dropped out of context in threads about something else.

Maemomd, by "here" do you mean this thread? We don't really need those posts in a Community thread either. This is why I'm proposing to choose an existing thread in Competitors or to create a new one there.

Actually, what I do is, when a thread has more than a say a hundred replies and I see that the discussion has strayed away from the original topic, I move it to Off-topic.

I don't get to read all posts so I need some help with this. But once in a while, when members report violating posts, that's when I often get to read the current context of the thread.

Well, when the Powers That Be Have a "discussion," it's like when that grizzly wants my sandwich -- I say, let 'em do whatever they want!

geneven, what is your point?

Can we agree on consistency? What would you do in a situation like this?

Lumia and non-Maemo/MeeGo discussions truly belong in Competitors. I won't talk about the move(s) to Off-Topic, if it fits, so be it. Makes it harder for me to find where the posts are located at times.

I wouldn't include you in the conversation about what to do, frankly. It's not important enough, and you aren't just another bloke with an opinion.
