Now you're saying that it's a moderation issue and against the TOS, unless the moderators say it's not by allowing it to remain in a M&P forum in a lounge thread.
Lots of things in the TOS are up to the moderator's discretion. I believe that the spirit of the TOS indicates that Lounge Threads should be in OMNI. However, I can see how a moderator, taking a literal interpretation of the TOS, could decide that posts in Lounge Threads are on-topic for those threads.

That's pretty clearly what has happened in these cases, since the Lounge Threads have remained in the M&P forums for years.

Ultimately, its the Community Directors call as to whether or not the moderators are enforcing the TOS correctly. I just don't believe TB has a role in that fight.
