[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6704582, member: 6701872"] I think the responsibility for that sits with you directing your gaze, rather than with Morrus stuffing whatever you don't want to see in the proverbial closet. I'm leaving out the rest of your post for convenience since there is only one other part of it which I have any response, and it's more of a general tone I'm responding to, not any particular statement. I'm not worried about posters like yourself that already know what they do and do not have any interest in. You know what you don't like and you can avoid it whether it is made convenient by sticking it off somewhere that you can pretend it doesn't even exist or it is there for you to see that it does exist but ignore anyway. I'm worried about the posters that have yet to figure out for sure what they do and don't want to see and them missing out on ideas that would actually interest them because they didn't have the foreknowledge of that interest necessary to seek out the section of the forum the idea got stuck in for no reason besides that some poster said "I want to be able to hit a button here so that I don't see any posts of [generalized type]". And I am worried because there are two types of separation at hand here, the separation of editions, and the separation of ideas within an edition. Separating editions makes sense because my knowledge of the rest and healing rules of 5th edition is only going to confuse people asking about healing and rest for some other edition. Separating ideas within an edition, for the all good that it does organizationally, reduces the chances that someone on the forum experiences an opinion far enough outside their own to actually open their mind to something it wasn't already open to. It reduces actual discussion too, as it leads a home-brew preferring poster to stick to only the home-brew section because they have been made feel unwelcome in other parts of the forum by people talking of them the way you do of optimizers, and so forth.
