    Use dictates rules. This is why the blackout happened. Arbitrarily enforcing obscure initial intent that has never been enforced, and does not reflect use is counterproductive nonsense and anti community. Make a new sub that suits the old purpose.

      Or just make a new sub that fits the new purpose? Goes both ways. The community is for server announcements and the like that people should probably see.

        No. Use dictates the direction of the community, not mods. Mods should be invisible and enforce the direction the community decides. A visible mod is a bad mod in every instance.

          ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m just sayin man it’s clearly stated in the community rules and has been for a while as far as I can tell. I get what you’re saying but if I create a soccer sub and people start posting football livestreams I’d ask them to make their own space too.
