Adjusting the rules to prevent low effort/information spam
  • I’m perfectly calm and at no point have I engaged in name calling. As for the redirects, nobody is required to take those. Those who want to engage in the discussion more may choose to follow the link, and others will not. No one- or two-sentence description will replace reading the full article. I can’t understand how you think the prior state of the community is superior. Most posts here don’t get more than a handful of comments, be it an external article or an essay written here.

  • Implementing these rules would kill any chance at an active community. Things are already slow here, and the articles have actually spurred some activity. If you prefer no community to a community that doesn’t 100% follow your preferred rules, then go ahead with the plan. This post just sounds like a moderator trying to find an excuse for existence. Getting annoyed by articles that are a common prompt for discussion on many platforms and calling article posts “meaningless spam” is ridiculous.

  • Bad idea. While there is a place for longer-form posts, news articles are valuable as well. Articles can inspire good discussion, just like longer posts can. Fewer people have time to write longer posts, and this community was quite inactive until people started posting news articles.

  • The California Legislature is ‘helping’ fast-food workers by killing their jobs
  • Libertarians believe that the compensation you earn is what the market dictates given productivity and other economic conditions. Terms like “honest pay” and “living wage” are meaningless and have no place in a serious conversation about economics.

  • Worst defensive rating this season:
  • The new scheme puts Brook in a spot that is a bad fit for him. He was a DPOY contender because he thrives in drop coverage. Griffin is moving away from that, it seems, so it will be very interesting to see where they end up.
