He should've mentioned that it's mod approved in his original post, I wouldn't have commented.
Don't mean to sound rude here but would you be ok if users started opening topics such as "What's your favourite dish or colour?" in the BT section? And if a relatively new user opened an offtopic thread like this,would you be cool? If the answer is yes then it's really not a big deal.It's one thread. It's no big deal.
