As one of the original mods on this site, it's a shame we couldn't have stuck to the original ToS (or something close to it).

What's changed? I know there was the general loosening of some of the more stick-in-ass interpretations of the rules a few years back (like no more automatic banhammers for "I'm 12 and what is this" and significantly less strict autoflag rules), but I don't really remember any changes much further back than that because that was like 20+ years ago now and 13-year-old me likely wouldn't have been aware of any changes that happened before I created an account.

I know exactly what they are doing. Want to know what the top 3 boards were for marked messages?

1). Politics
2). Current Events
3). PS4 (or whatever the top system board is at the time, probably PS5 now)

They killed Politics, they just "killed" CE. They are basically trying to reduce moderations by killing the boards where the trolls go. Completely forgetting that just getting rid of the troll boards is going to make those trolls go to other boards.

Even as a person who doesn't talk about politics on public forums, even I know that the solution isn't "ban all political discussion and delete any place where people could potentially do it".

Should be interesting to see what happens when the PS5 board remains a problem. They can't lock down that board like they have CE while still maintaining any pretense of being a place to discuss games, since that would destroy any chance of getting real new users in (what little is left), but at some point it's going to be the worst one.
