listen, i don't mean any disrespect because moderating a forum is def a thankless job, but I just feel like engagement has gone down since.
Engagement is down because running this place like a high school debate club squeezed most of the fun out. Sure, we finally got rid of the trolls, but the cost was steep.
Rule 1 is a good rule. Engagement being down because we don't attack people is what seems immature, to me, and I'm not convinced it's the reason things are down (engagement is down site wide, not just here). How does attacking people and not their arguments gain anything?
Overly strict enforcement has ended bants. We should all be mature adults here with reasonably thick skin, yet the policy is enforced as if we're children. It's stifling.
I'd also like to be reminding about the original compromise that there can be free for all posts where rule 1 is suspended.
It's stifling to not call people names or attack their person and not their argument?

You've been warned about this previously.
If you are here to subvert, you will be banned. I was reluctant to long term ban you because you have some moments of clarity and share decent information but it is up to you.
Correct, I no longer have to wade through four pages per session of flat-birthers and Hitlerjuden carrying out the recycling.
Otherwise engagement is the same, i.e. signal-noise ratio is hitting several nines.
Removed for rule 1.

You wish to see it but everyone else here wishes you'd fuck off
