I understand that some people seem to "litter" the Forum. I can see that all over the place!!From what I understand is the FC started the submenue of the off topics forum to place those posts there where so other people don't have to be innodated with Politics or religion, as you say "at your own risk". Not everyone wants to see arguments on religion and politics. It should remain in the subforum where it belongs so that you can enter or not enter "at your own risk"

While it would be 'nice' if members didn't strew political/religious posts all over not only the Off Topic forum, (outside of the D&D subforum meant for those contentious topics), but those show up in the Payments, FusionCash and otehr forums too ... alomst at random.  It's virtual liiter and never-ending since some people don't seem to care where they throw stuff.

It may be accidental. Then again, it could be a ploy to evangelize by planting them in areas intended for people who just want to know why they didn't receive credit on a survey or to tell other people about a good offer.  You know, topics that actually help people make a few bucks as opposed to posting Bible verses or complaining about persecution when others don't wholeheartedly agree with them.

While the placement of a religious evangelizing/proselytizing thread/post may be occasionally unintended, the content of such evangelical proselytizing isn't.  As you allude; 'FC' doesn't stand for "fundamentalist christian", it stands for FusionCash and most of the forums are intended to be related to the site's offers and workings, (unrelated postings account for why the Off Topic forum and Debate & Discuss subforum exist).
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

True, very true.  However, sometimes a simple "Thank God" or such comment can unintentionally become a D&D when posted in a thread about a simple, everyday topic.
Now this is true!
