Just gambled a Nagel ring

That was my point. I'm seeing too often that the response to some friendly advice offered on grammar, or forum etiquette leads to a hostile response or some long drawn out argument on the merits of being civil or following the rules. Why can't the response just be, "Advice noted, I'll try to be more careful in the future."

IMO, and that of DSTheHermit, OMG I Gambled A Set Item would have been the existing thread, created by Dyntheos just the prior day, to add his new found gambling discovery. Maybe this time he would have noted that his prior days topic "OMG, I Gambled A Set Item" was too specific as a topic to warrant much discussion, and so this time he would have opted for "Gambling in v1.10". And, next week, when he gambles for Arcane's Valor, I'm sure we will get a new topic to discuss that.

It seems forums the world over need people to come in and police them for no apparent reason whatsoever. If you’re not interested in the thread let it slip off the page. I can't stand off topic comments by people that have no interest in the discussion yet either find it impossible to let a comment go unsaid the likes of "you should have posted that here" or "you spelling is horrible" or "fix that grammar".

I certainly understand the need for balance between extremes. But without policing, this place would soon devolve into crap. What attracts some people to the Lurker Lounge, and why it is unique is that it does maintain a high quality of content. It seems unusual for Atma's at the Lounge having 80 new topics in 7 days, and I've noticed that Mavfin has been working to reign it in a bit. What I don't want for the Lounge is what Battle.net forums have become, a place to go when you have verbal diarrhea.
