[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9442792, member: 7023840"] I think [USER=2525]@Mistwell[/USER] has a good point, but I also understand completely where [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER] is coming from. It would be a bad look for enworld if it appeared that they were trying to marginalize criticism of WoTC/Hasbro. In addition, the moderators do a difficult and thankless task, and I don't think we want to burden them even more. That said, there is a lot of arguments and toxicity when it comes to the [I]business side [/I]of WoTC/Hasbro- as I have noted, parasocial relationships are a heckuva drug. It is really disheartening to see almost every conversation about D&D and the rules changes quickly taken over by the same arguments about business issues; not to mention that there are actual threads discussing (quite heatedly) the business issues. Perhaps it would be possible to at least create a tag or something for conversations about the business side of Hasbro and WoTC? WAIT! I just noticed that THERE IS THAT TAG! Doh. There is a WOTC Tag, that Morrus used for, inter alia, the layoff announcements. Maybe we can ask that threads about the business side started by other use that tag, and perhaps it would be possible to gently point people to that tag if they are using other threads to discuss business issues instead of the thread topic (aka, threadcrapping)? Just thinking while typing. Again, I hope that this is a passing issue and the heat is just one of those edition change (or not edition change?) things. But it is getting a bit much. [/QUOTE]
