The problem with this is that sometimes, devs disagree with an idea but community support is so overwhelming they decide to make the change anyways, as was the case with for example '
Mine Support Changes are Awful.'. If these kinds of threads get filtered before they can get posted, the community wouldn't be able to properly voice their opinions.
Which, when you consider the other things I have posted here, is exactly my point. I, or any other volunteer here, am not a proper judge of what a good or bad thread is because I don't have any more inside information about the direction of game development than anyone else. Even jorb or loftar can't be the best judge of what a good or bad idea is because they can sometimes be influenced by what the players think about things. The best they could try to do is filter out "troll posts," and even that can be hard to judge.
So, what, exactly, is the criteria that we should limit C&I by? The only answer I can come up with is "None."
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
