Thanks for the feedback but this is one policy that will not be changing.
Please read
THIS for an explanation as to why threads must be posted (or will be moved) to the appropriate subforum.
There are 159,209 threads with 3,943,304 posts on this site. Imagine one single general forum with all of that and uncategorized. A new thread would scroll off the first page within minutes (if not seconds) and it'd be extremely difficult to properly search or browse for specific technical topics.
So please do post to the correct subforums. I do not want to implement an infraction system for users who purposely post new threads to the general forum when it clearly should have been made in a specific subforum instead, but if the dumping of threads into the general forum doesn't abate, I may not have a choice.
If you don't like having to dive into subforums to read new threads, then please make frequent use of the
NEW POSTS function at the top of the site.
