Rawb: Basically: Sarcasm is not effective and does nothing but annoy people
What Cent Is Like God?: Fine, I will remove the mockery from my criticism: You guys already split up discussion far too much--and in such bizarre ways at that--that I don't see the point of a #critique channel. Or, more generally, I don't see compelling reason to add more channels at all except maybe to add something completely new.
What Cent Is Like God?: The latter part was not really part of the mockery. More an addendum.
MaartenBlom20: that gets the point across and we all still like you now :wink:
What Cent Is Like God?: That latter part is just wrong.
IrishBandit: You seem to be fairly confrontational about this
What Cent Is Like God?: Because it is infuriatingly obnoxious to be having a conversation in a chatroom that strays off-topic--like many conversations do--and being told to get out of the channel by a mod, leading to the conversation dying.
What Cent Is Like God?: At that point, the rules are not about anything more than quarantining discussion.
What Cent Is Like God?: Not promoting it or encouraging it.
IrishBandit: It's very easy to move discussions across channels
AtomicAllele: Yeah I've personally run into no issues with it
IrishBandit: If the conversation dies perhaps the conversation has run its course
What Cent Is Like God?: But "very easy" is not the same as "what actually happens".
IrishBandit: I've seen plenty of discussions continue fine across channels
AtomicAllele: I haven't really ever had a discussion that moved channels then died
What Cent Is Like God?: That's not really evidence contrariwise, IrishBandit.
IrishBandit: This is not a trial or debate
AtomicAllele: And the specific channels help me by finding discussions on a specific topic I want so it's not unnecessarily
Progress: I can say I've had to move discussions across channels multiple times and it has gone just fine.
AtomicAllele: So it's not for no reason
What Cent Is Like God?: If it's not a debate then why have the channel? Rename it #politburo and close it off to non-mod conversation.
legitprivilege: wew
MaartenBlom20: How many channels can a discussion travel? you talk about a topic and when it strays off you move to #off-topic
IrishBandit: You're clearly incapable of using this channel in the proper manner
What Cent Is Like God?: So disagreement is not allowed?

I was then blocked from using the channel, my last message was deleted, and then I was generally muted.
