Is it a place where you can chat ANYTHING under the sun,
regarless of whatever topics there is?
Mind you, it is called CHIT CHAT, not restricting on topics.
Threads need not go to specific forums.
Think about this. You are in a kopitiam, and you start speaking
about politics to your kopitiam mates. The lady boss of the
kopitiam locks you out of her kopitiam, and tells you to go
speakers corner. Is that logical? Politics need not be in Speakers
Corners or Parliamentary forums, you can chat here, posting other
non-political discussions.
The moderators can think about the threads before they lock it. I
shall emphasis my view, that this is CHIT CHAT, in which the word
defines as a place where you can talk freely/casually.
