From that thread:

You clearly knew, or at least suspected, that the thread made sense being posted in the game room. You wrote that disclaimer explaining why you chose an option other than the obvious one.

Next time just message a mod and ask if it’s cool to post elsewhere. I bet you’re much more likely to get an answer you like that way.

It may not be obvious from the post, but that thread is literally about a video game.
