Man, do you truly not get why people would be annoyed or upset by the “take it to CR!” then locking the CR thread move? To teach the people who are already keeping what you’ve deemed to be CR discussion there a lesson? What lesson, exactly? And what recruiting traffic are we running off in the CR thread?
I know you don’t think I care about this place and I’m clearly not going to convince you otherwise. But this place, all its assholes aside, has been a shockingly enduring community for a very long damned time now, full of people who care more than any of us would generally like to admit and has genuinely been capable of doing good in the world. I don’t want to see that fucked with because running the site is eating at you.
I wish I had a solution or some help to offer, but all I’ve got as a normal user who was happy to contribute my tree fiddy for the last five years is this ain’t it man. Just nuking dozens of posts that happen to rub you the wrong way is in no way conducive to maintaining a healthy online community.
