Feels like it's moreso part of a pattern where, due to off-site users not really paying as much attention to VSBW, they're less likely to actually recognize and take into account previous threads.Your example threads then have an entirely separate issue of being about pre-addressed arguments, something our rules allow to close regardless.
How so?Irrelevant.
Every thread I've been in where this was the case has invariably turned into a toxic shitshow, so I wanna know what kind of wonderland you're living in where that isn't the case.Again. This is gatekeeping. Even our lovely bureaucrats and admins don't go by this given the recent Superman thread. It's against site standards and leads to wank.
Also, this is why Bambu and I are expressly allowing Q&A threads and general discussion threads to still use off-site threads, since those aren't coming from the perspective of "I know nothing about this verse but here's why you're all wrong". Q&A threads are much better options for uninformed users to express their grievances, which includes things brought about by off-site materials.
Then why do we have verse-specific discussion rules? They work on the same basis of 'this shit has been discussed so many times and is so exhausting that we're banning discussion of it', so having to 'just ask' every time a thread with the same blatant problems crops up isn't really a viable option since we already have an established solution.And said asking isn't tough.
And we aren't exactly preventing them from coming to the site. If people wanna bitch and moan about how bad VSBW stats are, but then not actually try to change anything and choose to complain about it in their own little corner of the internet, well, that's on them....because OP isn't on site? Or maybe export code fuckups so didn't bother.
A rule is redundant according to you, but having to repeatedly close threads is also redundant, so your proposed solution doesn't actually fix anything.Reiterate? Don't get this point.
