Today's changes are the worst the site has ever had. I thought emojis were bad, but that doesn't even compare to this. I know the boards on this site are notorious for shitposting, but this takes it to a whole new level, and not a good one.

@SBAllen What the hell was going through your mind when you came up with the idea of board flairs? Also, the new off-topic posting rule is just the icing on this shit cake. Ever since you've taken over, you've turned what was once a great site into a complete pile of shit and people across social media are mocking you and your site over these changes you've made. Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe your tenure here as an admin. It's time for someone else to take over.

This change is fine. It just needs some tweaking, which will probably happen within a couple of days when they start taking suggestions for flairs.

Emoji support was absolutely stupid, just not as stupid as this.

Now that you at least are showing basic comprehension of the point I was getting at, try actually reading the entire topic.

It would be fine if it was possible to completely ignore all off topic posts permanently.

I did, Flairs were basically not discussed outside of people saying that this shit would happen. That got buried under the even bigger idiocy of "Hey let's just stop enforcing the trolling rule!"

People weren't clamoring for it. Also throwing it out on the table of stuff that might happen isn't exactly discussing it.

What's the issue here exactly?

If you don't like the tags, use adblock to block out the tag elements. I did the same thing to block out the "preview post" button so I can just hit tab and space to post a message more quickly

It was always nice that the boards here were actually divided. Now you can just post whatever trash on whatever board. Yeah I want to go to the wrestling board to talk about pokemon. It would work I guess if you could actually just mark what flairs you wanted to ignore and it actually saved that rather than having to reclick it every time you go to the topic list but whatever.

stuff

The first two problems can be fixed by having off topic filtering set to off, by default. It would require users to opt in for off topic discussion on gaming boards. And obviously, there also needs to be a way to save the user's choices for each board they visit so they don't have to constantly mess with the filter. There also needs to be a way to select multiple filters at a time so people can filter out discussions they don't like. Doing all that would fix the big issues.

For point 3, I'd argue that any tag on CE is redundant since anything goes.

Off-Topic flair has been removed. Almost like this was a terrible idea that Allen was warned about months in advance, but he couldn't be assed to listen to anyone but himself.

Step in the right direction. If they want people to be more social they should bring back gaming board specific social boards.

Well, the of topic thing came and went before I even realized it was a thing.
Not sure I like the off topic flair anyway, but good grief! Some people are getting a little too butthurt over this. People threatening to leave the site tells me that some people have too much time on their hands anyway and need to get a life. Maybe leaving the site for some time will do them good.

TC is just an example of how immature some people can get on here.
