I don't really see the link between having megathreads and the bad behaviours people are describing. Besides like: there are a lot of people posting in them and some number of any group of people will behave badly.

I think it's one thing to say to someone, when you're actually seeing it going on: "why don't you cool it for a bit, I don't think obsessively posting is doing you any good," and another thing where people say, for example: "cspam ought to be shut down, for their own good, because posting is making them mentally ill"

And I wouldn't want it made into a rule, but like, if you're calling people mentally ill it'd be good if either you're doing it as an obvious joke, or alternatively you really mean it. It's not a great way to deal with people that are just pissing you off.

Does (apparently) objectionable trump thread material really get posted frequently in other threads? I mean besides the times when someone who doesn't like it happening in the trump thread brings it up to argue something. I don't read a whole ton of threads most of the time so this is a real question.

some plague rats posted:

I would like this stupid bullshit that's super annoying to anyone who doesn't have chat thread brain damage to be kept in it's own thread so I can not read it.

Once again, I'm going to ask: Is this a thing that actually happens with some frequency?

If so, followup, have you tried telling them to gently caress off or something?
