i mean i can't blame him for starting to collapse if he's actually engaging with people because it's an untenable position. even by its own framework, definitions purposefully don't exist and explanations, unfortunately, keep the parts people are talking about vague and with unknown standards. you can't actually argue for the rule when the rule doesn't actually exist in any clear way and is admitted to having no reasonable definition that can apply, you can only shove it through. argument and conversation demand reason, the new rule explicitly lacks it.tbh I almost sympathize with him as a person on this whole mess and having to be the sacrificial damage control lamb.
And what's with them making a feedback topic and saying "our mind is made up, we won't change the plan based on user input, we just want to hear your responses for fun".
I think timmy said that the point was to give us a place to vent, and that's it. I'll see if I can find it.Yes, and the question stands.
Here's the response to Dreamer in particular.

"One day maybe we'll give out $300k bounties because of this" only has two possible excuses for being a message. Active animosity or total ignorance.
I feel like this rule is barely going to be enforced outside of the initial Politics topic purge. Like have any of us gotten modded since this went into effect? How does an understaffed mod team even begin to address this when it's so broad it actually INCREASED the scope of their work? Although posts might randomly still get deleted.
If anything happens to this board we're moving to Thread Zone.who the fuck is "we"
He might as well have said "How about a character battle with $1,000,000 prize!"
Unironically I think if we just posted like normal in that News topic it would go untouched as long as we don't get cheeky with it.
The Minecraft topic I could see being closed because it is, indeed, cheeky.

Our intention is to use a stringent definition of politics that covers clear trolling and flame wars, and not a loose definition to simply police speech.That b8 politics topic sure did have a lot of trolling and flame wars, i understand now why it had to be closed down thanks to this clear explanation of over 200,000 posts in that series.
my favorite tiny bit of those threads, a response to someone saying "fuck Fandom":This is legitimately hilarious

i'm still not over the fact that it's an account with sub 90 karma controlling the site.We've elected multiple inexperienced celebrities to the White House, so this is par for the course
like bro you couldn't even use the boards properly until like 2 weeks ago, how are you supposed to be someone who knows a thing about the site when there's more polls proving you wrong than days you've been here.
the timing of this POTD feels a bit too "coincidental"
I'm perfectly willing to try and talk it out with them even if I can't imagine getting anywhere.Why?
Why?Because I am somewhere between pot-committed and sunk cost with my relationship to this site. I've been here over two decades lol.
