Appreciate your thoughts. You’re not wrong, I can’t tell people not to banter and then banter myself, so I’ve made that change.
However, we will hide posts as we need to depending on the circumstance. Moving them to banter one at a time is a tedious task with the board software, and even if something isn’t offensive or inappropriate doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be hidden. There were two separate instances today where posts were hidden, first someone was commenting on an old euro run that everyone lost their minds over and then DT/Ji had a squabble. Those posts don’t need to stay in the thread as it allows others to comment when we are trying to move the thread on from the issue. I assure you we are not here to censor people but just keep threads as clean and readable as we can.
Today was a good day with model runs and people enjoyed themselves, so banter happened from everyone. We will clamp down when we get closer to threats and try to limit banter in threads, myself included. If someone sees their post has been removed and wants to ask, they should. We want transparency too.
