What's to stop anyone from saying, "Fuck this topic, I'm against everything this stands for, I'm just going to go in, stir up a bunch of shit, trollbait the hell out of everyone, get everyone pissed, and then it'll be locked!" You basically just told people it's okay to do that because that's how it'll be moderated.
I still disagree with the decision but it is what it is. I will be more cautious before I engage in debate in this section because I don't want to get cut off when I'm in the middle of what amounted to a really damn good discussion.
Also, I don't know if this is a thing here, but on an old forum I used to visit, people who constantly reported others for things were also dealt with, because there were apparently a few trigger-happy people and a few people who would report every post by certain users. Unsure if that's the case here, kind of curious, if anyone cares to answer this. I don't think there's ever been discussion about that.
