Can we post individual threads about warnings and the like again?

It's all petty drama, but those threads are really funny and I miss them. Never had a problem with those threads, just with people getting salty about "keeping it in the general" when the occasional thread did pop up.

One good thing about bringing these threads back is that it opens up discussion to the whole board. When it was just the general, you had to wade through tons of irrelevant chit-chat and deal with regular lurkers in the thread. Individual threads have a broader selection of people discussing the moderation, and depending on the calibre of poster being moderated, they can occasionally feel like an event.

Some people would say that it's just antagonistic mudslinging, and there are users who are way too invested in what happens to other users. But it feels so good to clown on someone for saying something blatantly racist or homophobic, or who just went postal on their keyboard for a stupid fucking reason, and who got warned or suspended for it. Like sometimes you have to savor the little victories in life, when some asshole gets mildly inconvenienced on a platform they use regularly. Everyone gets a jostling and has a laugh, and it's fun.

What's the verdict?
