Please take what's said here with a grain of salt. This is the same person who attempted to extort Hack Club out of thousands by using an airtable token they previously had (all tokens have since been examined as to whether they are truly necessary).

Popular request is for the program to be expanded. I don't know about the "resounding no".

It isn't a full-time job.

Recently, email sending has been revamped, and there are tools to subscribe to individual mailing lists.
Criticism isn't ever censored - there's anonymous reporting, a public forum channel for feedback (which only has temporary threadlocks upon very inflammatory or irrelevant discussion), and you can discuss it anywhere else within the Slack.
I could keep going, but the raw truth is that this misses a lot of context for independent observers.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that was OP.

Do a poll then. I for one agree with that and don't think that most people would report it.

It quite literally is?

That I'll give you. They did recently revamp that and make it be functional.

Not true. Thread locks are often for 6 months to a year and the posts often aren't even inflammatory, just anti-HQ.
