OT has the 2nd most traffic on the forums but all the grade A* trouble shooters hang there (you all know who you are an tech forums wouldn't be here without you) so people ended up posting there for no reason other than to get there thread seen by more of the experienced members. It's ok if a new or inexperienced members posts a software problem in the hardware section as we will move it an let them know.
But if you have the 40 posts you know where things should be, or post a problem that is obviously in OT just to get more trafic an a faster response will be deleted an nothing will be said. If you make a habbit of this a infraction will be issued in the normal fashion. Thing is I belive there is a fair amount of mods discression in this, every one makes mistakes an worng links can be clicked but you can't excuse posting in OT just to get a speedier response.
