I think it is probably a case by case evaluation, and there are many factors to consider. It will depend who is making the post and the reputation that person has, the degree of off-topicness (if that's a word), and things like that. CCC is different things to different people. There are many different aspects of computer chess. We have end users, programmers, hardware gurus, chess hobbyists, and many more. I think everyone probably views CCC a little differently, so "on topic" means is open to different interpretations. We have a very unique member population at CCC, and if someone wants to pick the brains of this group with someting that is not technically "on topic", then I am willing to grant everyone a little bit of latitude until they show that they can't exersize self control.
