It's "When no other forum makes sense for your post, Off Topic will help it make even less sense."

This is bad.
If you want people not to post off topic posts on ATR, then give OT a different description.
Change it to something that makes people understand that it is a forum for stuff that are not about roblox.
Imagine a new player in your mind, his name is Edwin, he comes to the forums for the first time to ask a question about dogs, the first forum he sees is called "All Things Roblox". He scrolls down, but when he sees "off topic", it says that his post will make even less sense on off topic. He keeps scrolling down, then scrolls up, and posts it on ATR, and gets a warn/ban.

Hmm. But if you are going based off of forum descriptions then there is no reason for that post to be placed in ATR, as the description of ATR is very clear as to what this forum is to be about.

Sure, maybe the OT description should be clearer, but I don't think that is the cause of the volume of off topic content we move out of here.

Quite often I see people say "I know this is OT but..." and they post it here anyway. I think that is a larger issue, people just need to make an effort to follow the rules.

Yes gordon, it's true that it's not the cause of the off topic posts on ATR, but it's a little thing that you can do to help new people know where to post. Making people wait one hour between comments didn't change a lot, but it's a small step, same with forum descriptions.
