"We have no home because we treated the place so badly it was condemned. Demolish everyone else's homes to make it fair!"

No-one seems to be even vaguely apologetic for all the obnoxious shitposting and seem to be asking for reinstatement without any change in the community's behaviour.

I feel like the only thing that should be demolished is the obnoxious posters' accounts to be frank.

In many threads, you can only go eight pages before flaming.

Here? Try entire threads of 500 pages.

I saw a list of things Daily Mail has claimed causes cancer, and it's hilarious. My favorites are "being a man" and "being a woman." It makes it sound like just living gives you cancer, and if that's true I'm gonna go ahead and enjoy my Mountain Dew. :P

Well I mean, age is the primary risk factor of cancer, so the Daily Fail isn't wrong on that one, per se.

By no means are we perfect. Sometimes people think self-policing is something that should only be done to others and reject it utterly when the concept is applied to them or misuse the concept to try and further their own agendas. But in terms of a content:trouble ratio I'm confident we're doing way better than pretty much any other large thread on this site.
