You have been on this site for two years and have four posts, none of them in the dunk tank. Booty has been on this site for four years and has 20 posts, none of them in the dunk tank. Why the hell do you care if people are allowed to do low effort posts on the dunk tank? Neither of you actually post!
Not the person you’re replying to (looks like they got banned for what they said in this thread) but I fit the same bill, being someone who hasn’t posted there while still thinking rule 8 is just a bad rule that doesn’t improve the site but detracts from it. I like to read the things posted in the dunk tank, including posts that I have seen removed for rule 8. I also like to read the modlog and it’s the only reason I know about some threads that got removed, threads with lots of comments, none of which were complaining about the source of the dunk, and that I really enjoyed reading and would have liked to have seen continued to be discussed.
In addition to threads I only knew about because of the modlog, there have been a bunch of times now where I was reading a dunk_tank thread and went to respond but couldn’t because the post got removed between the time I opened it, read through it, and tried to comment. There have also been a couple times where I was considering making an actual post there but didn’t because I didn’t want one of the only times that I do make a post to end up getting removed. There was even a time when someone else (a mod at that!) ended up posting the very thing I had been considering posting.
Not to say that you can’t have an opinion if you don’t post in the dunk tank, but those two were going so hard on this thread I thought for sure they were mad because some of their posts were removed from the comm or something
I don’t know, I kind of get why they are going hard about it. When a website is a community that takes up a significant part of your day, attention, and thought, it’s almost impossible not to have strong feelings about how it’s ran and how you’re allowed to use it, even in principle. I don’t have really strong feelings about it myself, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t irk me quite a bit, especially when it seems like all the time I’m either seeing posts not getting removed that the rule definitely applies to, and simultaneously good posts with quality commentary getting removed just because the initial dunk was on some nobody reddit dork.
Removed by mod
