No. "General topics" is already reserved for things not related to any of the other sim-related forums of this site. We could as well ask for a joke-sub-forum. A history sub-forum. And a sub-forum for curious cat's treads and the like (which I find to be the most idiotic of all threads running here). But I keep it simple. Instead of demanding a cat-subforum - I simply don't read those threads, and others as well if I am not interested in them by their headline.

If you specialise forums like that, what need is left to have a general topics forum then? GT already is for stuff not fitting into the site-/sim-/game-related forums.

As Xabba already said, people must think twice before posting, and make sure that the place gets not crowded with one and the same kind of threads. The recent wave of ideologic third person's chain-email threads were nothing else but spamming, and simply acchieved what they wanted: despite being closed, they brought their message over, closed or not. Such things should not be tolerated, but deleted. that is no censorship, but protection and enforcing of well-known board policies forbidding spamming.
