There is a thread on the off-topic page suggesting some form of light moderation for that board. This is a structural suggestion that might address some the concerns on that thread which could possibly be implemented during the forum migration.
The current pre-migration set up has a board for general chat which has only the unmoderated off-topic section in it (perhaps Jay has plans to adjust this during the migration).
I suggest that what is currently off-topic be split into two boards.
One, largely unmoderated for posting non-serious topics or topics where the originator of the thread is aware of the unmoderated nature of the board and doesn't mind the inevitable larks and silliness.
The other for topics where the originator is sensitive enough to the subject to request intervention should the topic be bogged down with pictures of skyscrapers, general rudeness and irreverence.
That way those who have a comfort zone could stay within it and not be subject to or the cause of friction with those who don't.
I'd also suggest a merge of the Feature Requests and Suggestions sections as they are essentially the same thing.
