Board Thread:Suggestions/@comment-30840516-20170201203205

Often, I see suggestion threads and other important threads being derailed when someone decides to pick a fight or start a conversation there. It makes it difficult to navigate in vote threads and to count all the votes.

The punishment for starting a new conversation or replying to an unrelated message would be the same as voting unqualified: If you are to break the rule again after the ban, you will be banned, however 1 hour will be added on to your ban. This will repeat if you keep breaking the rule.
 * 1) First off-topic reply: Warning issued, post removed.
 * 2) Second off-topic reply: Second warning issued, post removed once more.
 * 3) Third off-topic reply: Banned from wiki for 1 hour, post again removed.

Silly threads, like ones in the Fun and Games board, would not be affected by this rule.

I'd also like to add a note that I never see Discussion Moderators enforcing the rule about unqualified votes. I have never seen a warning on someone's page for voting whilst unqualified. If this suggestion passes, Discussion Mods and Admins, please enforce it?
