While I enjoy the new forum and respect the hell out of the leadership that put it all together in such a short timeframe, there's something that's been bothering me lately. I can't seem to enter any major topic without a READ OP disclaimer in the title, or a ton of warnings in a single page, or a few mods getting a bit hostile like when they merged a thread with another and people were in disagreement with the action:
I don't really have any idea what "chalk it up for next time" even means in the context of that thread, but he gave no further clarification as far as I can tell. There was basically no questioning of the mod's actions allowed.
While I respect that this forum is trying to maintain a specific order and I can appreciate it, at the same time, I feel like conversations can get stifled before they can even start. Sometimes calling out a member on their bad beliefs/logic/argument is something I'd rather do as a community rather than, say, a mod giving a warning to a member about it. It just shuts down conversation and leads to zero discussion. I dunno, is it just me?
