Signal boost: Free Speech group

Bendy went and made a group for discussing free speech topics. Since discussing them all over people's story comments isn't nice (and may get the comments switched off), I think it's probably a good idea. Looks like the only rules right now are "Stick to the site's rules", and there's a folder for the banned-from-the-featured-box "Edgy Stories", since those will be harder to find now.

What have I missed now?

knighty's newest blog post:

Firstly, stories which we deem as being either intentionally/excessively controversial or baiting of rule breaking discussion/trolling will have their ratings and comments removed/hidden. This means they will not be able to be featured/show up when searching by heat and their comment sections will not be able to be used as casual battlegrounds which create a chain reaction of rule breaking behaviour. This will be very much under mod discretion. Being at our will without a truly concrete set of reasons is not something I am happy with, but it’s also not something that I feel can be written into rules (Note that it will probably be myself making any calls on the controversial content currently, so if you want someone to direct your anger at, please have it be me rather than the mod team). However, it means that the stories can still exist in the site in a limited form, but not be used so easily as tools for trolling and baiting.

So far, anything recent with Aryanne in it has received this treatment. Possibly other things too, but unless someone makes a fuss about it, we wouldn't know, now would we?

Bendy AND verboten pones? Sign me up!

EDIT: Oh, and they actually went back and locked down a bunch of old stories, too.
