See I think that this could work, but I disagree. I think it would be better to make the threads posted in the annoucement section discussion, not pointer threads. This way if anything did get out of hand or inappropriate, the mods would only have to shut down the one thread, as opposed to any and all subsequent threads that the original one "pointed" to. It would also (I think) discourage spam threads, which I have noticed are becoming more frequent, but are being well handled by the Moderators (good job!). The discussion announcement threads would be exactly that. If people wanted to post links to other helpful or similar threads, than that's fine.
Also would any outdated, "unimportant", or borderline on the topic of discussion threads be moved if deemed any of these things? For example, if someone posted a Happy Birthday, would it be moved/refered to the Chit Chat section or just deleted?
Just my thoughts.
