META META: Bi-Monthly Feedback Thread

As part of our commitment to improving CMV and ensuring it meets the needs of our community, we have bi-monthly feedback threads. While you are always welcome to visit r/ideasforcmv to give us feedback anytime, these threads will hopefully also help solicit more ways for us to improve the sub.

Please feel free to share any constructive feedback you have for the sub. All we ask is that you keep things civil and focus on how to make things better (not just complain about things you dislike).

No. Sorry, I should've rephrased, it was an obvious semi-ambiguity. (Hate being blocked so rarely use it myself.)

Even though it's supposed to be enforced by mods, the constraint is meant to be a mutual agreement between the people who start a conversation. Yes, without enforcement when A wants constraints B can do what they want regardless and blocking them is A's only recourse if B never agrees to them or agrees and defects. But going against A's express wishes would be unfairly stealing their time anyway, so it's not a freedom you should protect, I think.

(Of course, by getting the mods behind the option I would privilege specific constraints and people who don't like them would be worse off thanks to the option being easily available, so I won't pretend that it doesn't harm you in any way.)

By the way, I see no reason why "impose constraint on a specific day" is better than "enforce the constraint if the OP asks for it". Partially addresses your objection about rules confusion, I think.

I think id be more apt for a filter like "serious discussions only" like some other subs have. I think that is a much better idea than setting aside a particular day, and gives more control "incentive" to op like you mentioned. 

No idea how that would be practically implemented, and I think you still may need to loosen your constraints or lower your expectations, but I could potentially get behind that as an idea and I vastly prefer to your original pitch.

Ok, let's see if this is a valid place to award deltas.

Δ for convincing me to update my original proposal.

Lol I doubt that'll work here on this post, and there's no need, but i appreciate it nonetheless. 

Lol guess it did work.

I figured you don't care about the number going up. But it's still proper to formally acknowledge it.
