Yeah, that will totally show the devs that we mean serious business, right?
I mean, not to poke too big a hole in your point or anything, but refusing to shut up, and rallying together as many individuals as possible who also won't shut up, is pretty much the recipe for effecting change. Our venue might be a forum rather than a megaphone, and we might post waves of threads instead of marching down a street, but the core approach being taken is quite familiar to anyone involved in activism of any kind.

Besides, as another long-running complaint thread has successfully pointed out, SE hasn't exactly left us many options. There aren't any real customer surveys; the Live Letter questions are predominantly cherry-picked softballs. Sure, we could just leave - and honestly, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on that myself - but by the same token, you could just stop reading negative threads on the forums.

In short: please don't tell others how to behave or what to do. We've as much right to voice negative opinions as you do to voice positive ones. And you can count on me to say the exact same thing if I come across a thread requesting people stop creating positively-themed posts, too. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple as that, for all forum-goers, regardless of what opinions are held.
