I'd rather people just learn to practice a bit of self control instead.

Instead of opening the valve for people to be able to be more colloquial and lax and less credible, people should seek comfort and fulfillment in being more cognitively engaged and putting in higher effort posts or at least more effortful thinking.

Low quality posting, if one has to do so, can be done on a different platform. I personally do not want to enable such a community to germinate here.

Personally I do not want SDF to be well known outside of this forum, but at minimum if it is brought up in other places, that it is perceived as a place of level headed and generally good quality PLA discourse.

Explicitly enabling a low effort mess is counter to that.
Heck I would say the existing miscellaneous thread and others are already more out there than I like.

Sorry Rick, I didn’t think I’d need the “/s”.

I thought the subsequent paras were absurd enough and would do that job, but if you think someone could misconstrue it as otherwise, then above is the clarification / confirmation.

Honestly, these days I can't even tell, both in the general internet, and as evidenced sometimes on this forum -- for the latter, it is because the sentiment you described without the "/s" is something that other people have unironically written/wanted before.
