Re: Coll Poll

That's what I was thinking. I don't care about the comment above mine because nobody fell for it and it was obvious wank, even though it's tasteless.

I would freeze completely off topic back'n'forths like the transwank if they went on for hours and all other conversation died because of it.

But I'm fine not doing anything and just letting things run as-is.

I think a poll should be open for more than 6 minutes :D

Not deciding, just adding clarification about what I'm offering to do and reiterating that the heavensqueen model is still on the table.

You seem much more reasonable than the previous poster, but it still remains the case that it's not up to you to decide general coal policy. You have that power over this post because you created it. Any one of us could create the next post.

I know, that's why I'm asking and not just doing it. I don't see the point in leaving a trail of half-dead threads as we move from post to post.

I'd say only freeze the trans wank type stuff if it's been a day and still going strong. 10 pages of flatview that is only trans wank? Freeze.

I agree this this threads basic idea for at least this post that if the off-topic sjw-wank has gone on long enough that flat-meme is basically unusable then it's okay to freeze it.

If you don't like what you're seeing on flatview, you can always switch to viewing _coal a different way.

Coalies need to learn not to engage. If someone says something wanky and non-yuletide related, just ignore. Wankers will give up if they don't get a rise out of people.

If the wankers in question are just trolling for the lulz, they'll give up eventually.

If (as I halfway suspect) they're actually someone who's been dragged on _coal before and is trying to make this place so toxic that the comm dies? They'll same-anon forever and consider it time well spent.
