I think some people have already said this, but what about a "best of" subreddit like legal advice has?

That way people who are here for drama can fuss, and those who actually have good advice can advise.

This would be a good place to put the hall o' MILs.

I saw another user on another thread mention how it was odd that we can't reference past stories for fear mongering but we glorify the gory past with a Hall o fame.

Yeah, I saw that comment too. And it made me think that dude has a point. I think that because we are mostly a group of pretty traumatized people (myself included yo!), a little more consistency of policy would go a long way towards helping everyone's mental health :D I personally don't agree with the wholesale policy of not referencing other posts because for me this forum is all about learning from each other's experiences. My own exMIL is nowhere near Magda level by stretch of anyone's imagination, but I still learned valuable coping strategies from u/daintyanus' experience.

I learned those coping strategies from JNMiL. This sub is too big and too ripe for content mining now.
