IMPORTANT POLL: Should there be an off-topic section?

The name of the other one indicated a possible "constitution", but upon reading the thread you would see that the name is ill chosen and "rules of conduct" might be better. There is good behavior advice in it, if I say so myself.
And why is that section left almost empty, just because the current TEA thread users are happy where it is now.
I guess that the cooking section was also frowned upon at first and now it has reasonable activity, so why not other sections for interests besides electronics.

Or because they are unaware of its existence. I only found it by chance. You're assuming all current TEAnonymous users are happy with it where it is; you are mistaken.

I would not mind a Photography section. I have a portfolio that I would love to show and even learn new techniques and get inspiration, while also being able to help, as a hobby that unfortunately currently don't have time to do (more motivation - life issues).

2. I as a moderator would kick a fragile public butt of that big ego, if necessary.

I as a reader cannot understand either of those two sentences. Could you explain please? I think some meaning was lost as you tried for a clever and colorful wording.
What do you mean by "mark" the complainer, and what "subset" are yo referring to? Whose butt and ego are you talking about -- the ones of a person who made a questionable post, or of a person who reported a post, or yet someone else's?

Are you assuming that marking is something negative?
All parties are from dunkemhigh's post and I also followed Dave's tip that quoting everything is not always good.
Subset against the marked one and big ego are followed closely and moderated if necessary.

It has been discussed in length in the discussion thread about TEA and several of the current EEVBlog TEA thread participants where in that thread, but if you feel that it should be addressed to the greater group of them, place a post about it in the current EEVBlog TEA thread. Sure it is off topic there, but if feelings are strong about it, I guess it should be addressed.
And I'm specifically mentioning EEVBlog TEA thread here to avoid confusion with the new TEA on groups.io.
Dave created the section for both, but some of those who moved to the new TEA on groups.io expressed no desire to make use of it.
And yes, I don't know about the feelings of the current EEVBlog TEA thread users, but they seemed to have moved on with business, more or less, as usual, looking at what is being posted in the EEVBlog TEA thread.

You're essentially saying to get rid of the report button.

Now you are deliberately being a twat by inventing strawman arguments.
You deliberately choose to make it difficult to follow what someone else did write by omitting not only the context but also a link to the context.
I am finding it difficult to distinguish your tactics from a troll's tactics.
I refer you, and any other reader, to the first paragraph I wrote indicating that I use the report button in some limited cases...
"That isn't the case under discussion. When there is a clear cut case forum rules deliberately being broken for commercial gain (or equivalent) then I warn the mods so they stop on such perps."
