This is a dumb thing to argue about. EotW is for political/world events threads. That is where we put them, and that's where they should stay.

The difference between EoEO and EotW lies in specificity. This is also the difference between EotW and GC. EotW is VERY SPECIFIC in it's subject matter. A certain type of thread goes there. A specific type of thread. There's no reason for us to let a bunch of those types of threads stay in GC when you have one half serious discussion and one half LOLZ OLZ LOLZ. That's not fair to the thread starter, that's not fair to those who partake in serious discussion, and that's not fair to staff for having to keep track of them when they can just as easily be put in their proper place.

Now, why then, can we decide to put something in GC over EoEO, though it's likely a personal matter or question? Because those are non-specific areas. They have their rules, yes, but not exact rules as to what kinds of threads go there. In EoEO, the rule is serious threads and serious responses. That's it, (besides various other forum wide rules, such as no flaming, no porn, etc. etc.). Similarly, GC has simple rules. Relaxed threads and relaxed responses. If you want to share an amusing or unusual relationship experience, you can put it in GC. If you want advice on this same experience, you put it in EoEO. Dependng upon the type of answers you want, it's your choice. Similarly, EotW is for discussion of a specific type, and that specific type of discussion should be restrained to EotW. Now, please take another look at those threads in GC. Those follow the exact pattern of an EotW discussion. Those threads have their place, and can be remade there.

There is no sense in making all different kinds of threads in all the different forums. What would be the point in making a political thread in the FFX forum? Nothing. I see it as the same thing as making a political thread in the GC forum. It's like putting your shoes in the wrong shoebox.
