Sometimes I find it difficult to differentiate posts that belong to off topic and politics/society. These two topics seem identical and in my opinion, I think they belong to the off topic board rather than politics and society. About drunkenness and sleepiness About laziness and sleepiness I know there is nothing political about the posts, but I don't know if there is something societal in them.

You should’ve just reported the topic to the moderators, they're the ones who decide if it’s off-topic.
Or are you trying to do their job for them?

It might look identical but the two topics are talking about different things. The first one is talking about road accidents caused by sleepiness/drunkenness and the other is talking about laziness, and sleepiness might be caused by some kind of health problems(but its BADecker's thread, so expect something wild).
If you think both threads are off-topic, you should report them.

The moderators must have seen them and didn't take note of them. Or the moderator might not be sure if they belong to the board or off topic It might look identical but the two topics are talking about different things. The first one is talking about road accidents caused by sleepiness/drunkeness and the other is talking about laziness, and sleepiness might be caused by some kind of health problems.

I am not so much concerned about the content of the posts. I think they belong to off topic but I am not that certain about it. That is why I brought it here so that on a broader note, someone could tell me the difference between off topic post and these type of PS posts.

It seems both posts are on the right board. Off-topic and Politics & Society boards are to discuss non crypto-related discussions. Both boards serve different purposes, though they sound similar.
In the off-topic board you can start discussing anything that's non-crypto. You can share your love story, jokes, your childhood and anything that has entertainment purposes. So I don't feel there are any limitations for discussion; you can write whatever you want that follows forum standards.
On the other hand, the Politics & Society board itself described the purpose. You can start discussing elections, war and societal issues. This means this board has limits on discussion.

About laziness and sleepiness supposed to be off-topic, or may serious discussion or watch tower where it will not be moved to off-topic. If you check the topic, it is related to individual unlike the second one, about drunkenness and sleepiness which its content is related to environment. I mean about being on steering and breakdown which can result to accident. Although, the way both are not constructed with little thoughts, I will prefer them both to be in off-topic. But the first one I mentioned supposed not to be on politics and society, while the second can still be considered.

I don't understand what is he or she is reporting the two topics to the moderators for? because I don't see any reason why those topics should be reported to the moderators, Sincerely speaking those topics are good topics, but they don't belong to politics/society board where they belong is offtopics. Or are you trying to do their job for them? he or she is not trying do the job of the moderators read the quote below by @Zoomic. Sometimes I find it difficult to differentiate posts that belong to off topic and politics/society. These two topics seem identical and in my opinion, I think they belong to the off topic board.

About drunkenness and sleepiness About laziness and sleepiness I know there is nothing political about the posts, but I don't know if there is something societal in them. Both topics touch on the problems of society as a whole, so they have every right to be where they are. At the same time, if the topics touched on personal problems, for example, “I'm lazy, how do I fight it” or “I fall asleep at the wheel, what should I do about it”, then such topics would most likely belong to the “Off-topic” section. Also, there are so-called “borderline” topics. These are topics that can fit into both sections. In this case I am personally guided by point 23 of the forum rules, i.e. I act at my own discretion.

Not everyone make reports that they are not quite sure of. Like the OP said they usually find it difficult to distinguish and needs clarity. And ironically, they are on the right board under the umbrella of been a societal problem. Or are you trying to do their job for them? Yes, if you can understand what should and shouldn't. It will make things easier for the moderators. I see nothing wrong with it.

About drunkenness and sleepiness About laziness and sleepiness I know there is nothing political about the posts, but I don't know if there is something societal in them. Let me get you right. It's the OP trying to understand the difference between the purpose of the two boards OT and P&S and what sort of topics could be discussed there? Or you're asking about where the two identical topics you presented in the OP does actually fall into, either in OT or P&S? When it comes to topics that belongs to P&S it's easy to identify them when they have some elements of politics within the lines of thread but in the absence of political elements in the thread it's mostly left for the mods to decide if it could be regarded as falling into societal discussion or off-topic. If you sight any, what you do is report to mod and they use their discretion to decide since it's their job to.

I know there is nothing political about the posts, but I don't know if there is something societal in them.
To start with, any post that doesn't fit in any other board on this forum fits in the off topic board automatically. I wouldn't say anything not related to bitcoin discussion because many posts they don't concern bitcoin in any are scattered across different boards only it is lesser in some boards. One thing you also have to understand is moderators don't spot all off topic posts. Especially if they are in form of reply. When a higher ranked member makes a post mods don't put in much effort sometimes which could mean moving it if it's off topic. reporting posts is the best assist in cleaning the forum

Yes, these posts are off topic depending on how you relate to the texts. Reasons why those posts might have been skipped by Moderators may be because of how understanding OP can be helpful to forum users especially About laziness and sleepiness , a wider audience will be reached from Politcs/society board compared to off topic since few people are visiting the board or you may want to compare some of topic posts like this Why Pizza Will Always Be the Ultimate Comfort Food to the above posts.

Good, I take this to be the answer to my question. Both topics appear to be the "borderline" topics. In as much as they fit in the Politics and Society board, they can also fit in the off topic board. Also, if I were to be the mod of PS board and I send such posts to off topic board, I am also not wrong because I used my discretion.

I believe Politics board shouldn't be yoked together with Society. They should be separate boards while Society will capture "Off-topic where anything that's not main stream discussing cryptos or politics should belong. The way they're yoked together, it's a bit confusing what goes into Politics and Society that shouldn't go into Off-topic.
However, if you've had the answer that you sought; you may want to close this thread then to avoid spamming.

According to the description of the off-topic board, it says that topics that can be of interest (helpful) to bitcoiners are welcome there, while the politics and society board is already self explained that topics that is about government, country's political events and some events about the general society can be discussed there.
In my opinion, those two topics can fit well in any of those two board because they still covers a relevant information that can be helpful to a Bitcoiner (off-topic description) and also covered information that concerns the individual in the society (PS board). If the OP created the two topics on the off-topic board, it will not be moved to other board because it is still okay there.

Good, I take this to be the answer to my question. Now that you have found the answer you were looking for - so now consider locking the topic. You can of course leave it open for discussion as long as your question is not answered or maybe there are a few other things you would like to discuss - once you are done, locking the topic is the recommended action for who topic starter. For more - let's look at some things in the Guidelines for threads: Politics & Society - Discussion about politics, recent event in the world - both related and unrelated to Bitcoin. Off-topic - "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners"

I made a similar post about this almost 1 and 1/2 years ago -- is Politics and Society board turning into a low-key Off-topic board?And the positive outcome was the introduction of an active moderator there. Trust me, it was far worse than it is right now. Maybe what we can do is try to help the moderators by reporting any of the topics you feel don't belong there. I am sure they will act upon it.
