Seeing how free speech and complaining all you want is exactly what turned this forum into its current state, I think that's a fairly attractive alternative really.

I'm on reddit enough that I can say for sure most of comment like you just had are hyperbolic at best, and ill-intended at worst ... BUT ... you know what, I don't even care about defending it. Even if what you claim is true, so what? If that's what they need to do to prevent the sub from becoming the cesspool that is known as the official forum, then I can say they're doing god work.
