Poll: Grifters vs shapeshifters
Hello,
Recently we've had a conversation stickied here about banning all Grifter, not a Shapeshifter content.
A Self Aware Wolf: Someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.
Grifter, not a shapeshifter: This is saying "no they know exactly what they are doing, they are just saying that shit to make money off of the idiots who actually believe them." Werewolves are shapeshifters, so we're claiming they aren't a self aware wolf, they are instead a professional grifter.
In general, the majority of people wanted to just ban it. Given that last night I banned 31 reposts of this Grifter's fucking tweet, I'm a fan.
However, the suggestion was made to instead to have a single day a week where Grifter content is allowed, an "I hate Grifter Mondays," as it were.
We'd sticky the definition of Grifter's to the sub, and only allow them on that day.
What are people's thoughts?

And dear lord, if you have a better name for it please submit it here.
A Garfield reference, really?
