I'd be curious what "big" means in this context
I joined after the dev thread revolution
It feels like we were led to believe that dev threads would be optional. Why the change now?
I haven't been around long enough to understand dev threads, and how they killed writing interest in the past, before they were removed. But I was here when they were pitched as an option. The idea was to have them there for people who wanted to use them as a way to bolster their writing, not as a requirement.
If we make them a requirement, even just for one thing, that can be a slippery slope that eventually ends with them being made a requirement for everything. It wouldn't happen in an instant. Probably not even within the span of a few months. But we're already talking about making them a requirement for one thing, when they were pitched as something that wouldn't ever be required only a week ago.
Maybe I'm just a jerk who doesn't trust in the admin team, or our factory judges. (Not what I'm trying to come off as.) But if we're already suggesting to make them a requirement for something, after only a week, then we'll do it again. And again. Until every factory submission requires one.
If that were the case, I wouldn't have specifically mentioned that that's not how I want to come off. I only added that because I understand that with the way I've phrased my stance, it can seem like that's how I feel. I have had, literally, 0 issue with the Factory/Codex staff here.we're pretty good at avoiding the slippery slope, but I do agree with most of this.
You should definitely just not say "I'm a jerk who doesn't trust the Admin team or FJs" if you're not. Definitely seems like you definitely are and you're just kept typing and accidentally said the quiet part out loud but couldn't help yourself.
Either way it's totally okay to have that stance, lol. It's not a rule break.
