Sidetracking threads is a part of being in an online forum. I've complained about threads being sidetracked many times and always hear 'oh well, that's how forums work'.
Also this creates more work for mods who have to spend more time policing threads and dealing with an increase in reportings that will likely be ignored because a mod may disagree that a thread is being sidetracked.

If you aren't just talking about sidetracking then you failed to make that clear in your OP. This iis not a fault of my own if there was a misunderstanding but rather a lack of clarity.
I've been a member of this site for four years and have 14,000+ posts. So I feel more qualified than your 5 months to know what is being talked about in regards to be this site functions.
You don't see me in those forums because, long before you joined the site, I had determined those areas of the site are unhealthy in many ways and therefore largely avoid them any longer.
Show me where I said things were ok. Because I don't remember saying anything of the sort. In fact I said that I, myself, have complained fruitlessly. It seems your reading comprehension is on par with your ability to make your points clearly and concisely.

Ah, a problem with your supposition. There is no "freedom of speech" on this site. Sure, we can say whatever we want, but Christianity trumps bad-mouthing God specifically to keep this site going. We ca say whatever we like, but we'll get banned for saying some things. (Not to mention, the owner isn't American.)
As for lying threads. Bummer. I wish we had digital cameras when I was young. I'd be able to post a photo of one of my brother's imaginary friends named "Thingy." Thingy was either a wade of string or a cotton ball fashioned something like the Tasmanian Devil cartoon when he was a cloud of flurry. My brother talked for Thingy, and, sure 'nuff, sometimes Thingy lied. lol

"...A suggestion we seem to agree on, is to be able to ban someone from a thread if they keep sidetracking and changing the subject or basically making sure no one can even discuss the subject matter of the op..."
"...Many people here feel that something needs to be done..."
How many ppl were writing with you that part?
Besides, I´m sorry you felt what you´ve mentioned, disgusting.
HONESTLY: I also have seen portions of derrailments BUT, I also have seen suggestions to moderate even signatures or pictures so, if the Inquisition came back, I know how I could be cheeky or picky.
I have no right to moderate ppl´s minds.
And no one is asking you to moderate at all. (I personally think it's a good thing if they never want me to moderate, so that's not a put down. lol)

Actually, they really are hurting people, but not always on the threads they disrupt. I've seen people who are checking out God buying into this pile of malarkey, just because they don't know any better. Salvation with a huge pile of malarkey takes a long time to get rid of the malarkey. Too much malarkey, and the person never gets to the point of salvation. Someone talked them right out of giving themselves to the Lord.

How do you know if almost everyone else is like you -- rarely reporting? This is an assumption I see often. "I don't report because everyone else does." "I don't ignore because no one else does." "I don't boycott because who listens?" And yet, here you are hoping this is the time others do listen... and many of us see the same problem.
What if everyone who thinks reports do nothing report anyway? I used to deal with tenants from 900 apartments. Squeaky wheels do get greased.

How is everyone else's splinter in their eyes? It seems for someone who keeps claiming everyone else is ignoring the log in their own eye, you've done nothing but demand others accommodate your log. Should I start a thread to talk about you now so everyone can judge you? I know that's ridiculous, but that's exactly what you're demanding here for someone else.

that's not the reason I don't report if I don't report
I do report when I think it really necessary, but it is not a button I jump on...I prefer to have a fistacuffs in my backyard, but I live too far for people to fly out, otherwise, I think I could settle it all real quick like
You don't have all the facts there costly; I'm not a person who sits on it...I started this thread cause several people thought it was a good idea and a couple apparently had already suggested it...not here I don't think, but in a thread
So, it seems I am actually the only one who was trying to do something concrete...I thought people were serious, but I may have misjudged
Anyway, anyhow, you can see for yourself the keen and eager interest this thread engendered....everything from there is no problem to I am the problem....I don't think I am, but anyway
I'm going to report you now by the way...have some pizza while you wait
