Is it really super weird to think that someone who works in a particular industry would find people they are attracted to in that same industry and not have it be a conspiracy?

Could anyone at all tell me WHY we need to revive a three years old thread if it was made clear that if you wish to (in a civil and sensible manner) continue some of the aspects of the discussion from the locked thread you are welcome to do so? I'd advise those of you who wish to still have a debate about this to do so.

WBGhiro: You locked the other thread and just pointed to the rules. In a pm converstation you said that the thread didn't violate any rules but users were being toxic to eachother.

There's very little clarity going on.
There really isn't. The thread was toxic and promoted further toxicity, and it more or less acted as a containment thread. Not to mention that it should've been locked ages ago anyways and I stand by the decision of doing it now. It was too far gone to ever get back on track.

This is also offtopic so if you wish to discuss the forum rules with me, do so via PMs or in the dedicated thread. And I would prefer if you did so after the new forum rules are up regardless.

As its already been pointed out, the current forum rules suggest you search before posting. This thread is one of the results when searching for gamergate although there's many results. If we keep creating more GG threads and bumping more then I'd wager it would create the excuse needed to lock even more threads related to it due to spam.

This is another frustrating antiquity of forums structures. It's either, "Stop bumping old threads." or, "There's already a thread for that." None of this would've happened if the GG thread wasn't locked for Reasons™
Oh, I'd much rather keep an eye on this thread and hopefully try and prevent it from getting as bad as the GG thread was. Any day.
