[OWW-Discuss] off topic

[Jason Kelly]

I personally don't have a problem with it at all.  We are encouraging
people to use OWW as a place to form scientific communities, and not
everything communities do is strictly science.

Similar to how we are happy to allow labs to post who has to bring
snacks for group meeting (something that no one outside the lab cares
about), with the hope that they'll feel more comfortable posting
protocols (something that's great to share widely).  By being flexible
we end up getting more content overall.

That said, there is some sorts of content / conduct that we would want
to put a stop to were it to ever crop up.  Places like wikipedia, etc,
have policies about hate speech, pornography, etc  We might want to
add something like that to the end of the etiquette page:
