I had a top-level post which touched on an apparently-forbidden idea downvoted to a net of around -3 and then deleted. This left my karma pinned (?) at 0 for a few months. I am not sure of the reasons for this, but suspect that the forbidden idea was partly to blame.
My karma is now back up to where I could make a top-level post. Do people think that a discussion forum on the moderation and deletion policies would be beneficial? I do, even if we all had to do silly dances to avoid mentioning the specifics of any forbidden idea(s). In my opinion, such dances are both silly and unjustified; but I promise that I'd do them and encourage them if I made such a post, out of respect for the evident opinions of others, and for the asymmetrical (though not one-sided) nature of the alleged danger.
I would not be offended if someone else "took the idea" and made such a post. I also wouldn't mind if the consensus is that such a post is not warranted. So, what do you think?
A minute in Konkvistador's mind:
...Again the very evil mind shattering secret, why do I keep running into you?
This is getting old, lots of people seem to know about it. And a few even know the evil soul wrecking idea.
The truth is out there, my monkey brains can't cope with the other's having a secret not willing to share, they may bash my skull in with a stone! I should just mass PM the guys who know about the secret in a nonconspicus way. They will drop hints, they are weak. Also traces of the relevant texts have to still be on-line.
That job advert seems
