By reading the OP again, if anything I would have thought a new thread specific to discussing mixers was a better place than this one. I completely understand if members want to discuss what is allowed to be posted (and what is going to get members a warning or ban) but beyond that I think this thread should be used for the announcement and subsequent clarification.
You are right it is one of the biggest decisions theymos has made in years and should be discussed but in this thread I have read posts about conspiracy theories and other nonsense therefore those could have been made in a dedicated thread.
It is time for all members to get over this announcement, it is not the end of the world just because mixers will be banned.
Yes many members will no longer be earning as much if they manage to get enrolled on other signature campaigns but there is nothing more to discuss here. This forum is controlled by theymos and he has made a decision that we have to adhere to if we want to remain members.
I hope theymos locks this thread and pins it Meta board. Let us all move on.
No one denies that he can do what he wants, but since it looks like that he is williing to adjust the mixer ban rule slightly, I don't think that its pointless to discuss it.
After all, its been only a couple of days, its not like we are pondering on this for weeks or months. And it is a big decision, probably the biggest one in years so no wodner that many people have something to say on the matter.
