Daily threads could be more work focused but at the same time, when theres no work up, theres nothing left to do but post memes and gifs.

Thats my hot take on this issue.
it's kinda like we are at an office, and when work is available we scurry off and work til no more work, then we run back here like a water cooler and shoot the shit or once in a while some highly intellectual scientific shit, then when work is up we run off again... we are kinda in a hell... :p

I voted that it is fine. people have the option of seeing hits only. And it seems to regulate itself, in other words, I notice more off topic chat at slower times. I have personally never been bothered by people being social.And at busy times the forum sort of naturally has more work related postings.

Same here! And during the busy times I barely have time to look on here. Like now...lol. I have a queue full.

i like this forum so sometimes i wonder about exploring the off-topic areas, but because i have this requester banner i guess that might be weird or awkward so i don't
but you know, if you think i'm funny or whatever then go ahead and invite me to your conversation that is happening somewhere else?

this could be my anxiety talking but I'm not sure, but I kind of feel like I'm probably one of the ones that needs to shut up more often, so...just tell me to shut up if I'm shitposting too much

Presently, we can choose to see just HITs posted, or everything that is posted. I think we need something in between: a "Relevance" choice so we could see just posted HITS and those posts dealing directly with HIT-related material (to the exclusion of discussions about pizza, children, yada yada).

You're welcome to post anywhere. I don't think it's weird at all. We used to have a requester that would post in the skin care/beauty thread.
