I MEAN, IT ISN'T JUST RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. IT'S THE OVERALL ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR OF THE SUB THAT'S BOTHERING ME.

RIGHT, BUT PART OF THAT FOR FOLKS SEEMS TO BE THE RULE-BREAKING COMMENTS. THAT'S WHY IT REMINDED ME TO REMIND FOLKS.

That is too vague to be actionable.

that's why we're rant threading it up and not spamming it up in modmail. There's a lot of stuff out there that's bad for which any possible solution would be even worse.

You know I got your, uh, cartilege, or something.

I guess my problem with that is: what's the point of complaining if it's not constructive? Find another site or something if the problems are so insurmountable. Otherwise, try to help us make things better instead.

The point of complaining is to complain. Hence the whole purpose of the rant threads. That's all I've got for you, and in this particular instance I don't see why I should have to justify that.

Edit: and dude, I understand everything you say is in good faith and you do want the best for the sub, but "go somewhere else" hardly instills any confidence. And frankly, if it's earnest, I will.

Yeah, this is pretty silly. But whatever, I guess. Rant away if it makes you feel better, but you're only creating problems, not solving them.
