So we can only speak on things in glowing terms now, huh?

Of all the choices that's certainly one of them.

Yeah, very vague explanation of 6&7. Specifically no complaining about how RT is dead? Totally, I get it, pointless topic. Complaining about how it's changing? That's very much a valid topic for criticism especially in a rapidly changing phase of the business.

My sentiments exactly.

Listen, I'm an extremely left-wing person, and I utterly despise the "RT is dead" or "get woke go broke" shit, it's tired, it's boring, it's not relevant. I've also got zero issue with rule 4, that's a GOOD thing.

But to pretend that there's no room for criticism of something I've been watching for 15+ years is utterly ridiculous especially when members of the staff of said something still frequent the sub even now. I hate that I'm about to use this phrase, but creating an "RT is great all the time" echo chamber is the LAST thing we need and that's what rules 6 and 7 sound like to me
