Your rules are arbitrary anyways in this thread
, if there is an actual system to it, it would take a super computer powered AI to decipher it. In general your post makes it sound like no one cares to do the moderator job in this thread
or is generally unfit to do it in this thread
. There is no shame calling it quits if the passion ran out where this thread is concerned
FiFY
That discussion breaks Rule #0 anywhere on this site, except for this thread which is a weird special case that we’ve let run because it caters to a specific portion of the fandom for whom ‘being excellent to each other’ appears to be impossible, or, undesirable from time to time. Where this thread isn’t attacking others on this site, or plotting raids, etc, and where everyone is generally getting along it is pretty much ignored.
Like the Role Playing threads.
If you want that discussion to be not in this thread
There seems to be a misunderstanding - there is no place on this site that we would want that discussion. That it is in this thread, yet again, means we now either have to moderate this thread (which I really don’t think anyone is willing to volunteer to do, except for me it seems), or just give up trying to keep this thread on this site, or some other option which probably would be harder than either of the above.
So I’m trying option C: let’s go back to pretending this thread doesn’t exist, which we can only do if all of you here can stop triggering so many perfectly valid and reasonable reports which should be acted on by banning people and deleting comments.
Which I’m sure would leave this thread a pages-long sea of red.
That doesn’t seem useful for anyone.
Should a lot of those comments be deleted? Almost certainly.
Would deleting them serve any purpose, given who is involved and that they are in this thread? Probably not. At least, doing so has never worked with these individuals, or this thread, in the past.
I’m hopeful folks here can go back to just skirting the edges of Rule #0, and staff can go back to ignoring the existence of this thread.
Just like with the Role Playing forums.
What do you hope for?
