*Curiosity* What constitutes a topic being booted to Cloudsdale?

I'm curious about the parameters involved when it comes to a topic being moved to Cloudsdale with that automated message posted by a mod.

 

I've seen a few topics get kicked down there that were debatable/borderline legitimate topics.

It's up to an individual moderator's discretion, of course, but we will generally sentence to Cloudsdale anything that does not encourage quality responses or isn't getting any. Sometimes, people post a legitimate topic, but people make a joke of it. That usually makes the entire topic worthless so it gets the boot.

Ah, that's what I kinda figured. Wasn't sure if it was a "x amount of posts within y amount of time" thing or if it was a mod's discretion thing.

 

I've probably helped some topics get the Cloudsdale tag lol
