Good point, and easy to understand. I just wanted to point out that many people were not retaining information relevant to the person (and to an extent the content) of the one whose thread bears his name. The powers that be can move the thread wherever they want, but one would think people would be paying attention to Nick and co. especially with all the Drexel talk that was happening back then (more permissible when positive?) and people engaging with Kayla content.That's because this thread was originally in the Multimedia subforum. Threads in the Multimedia subforum aren't usually lolcow threads. Topics discussed there are about things that users actually like and aren't supposed to be alog gathering spots. How hard is this to understand?
This thread was moved here because Nick's hedonistic antics justified it.
To say that Nick's thread being under Multimedia can be interpreted a passive defense/oversight for observable criticism would affirm the layers of cover I was talking about, so it sounds like we agree(?). To put it another way, it sounds like your point is complementary to (and not contrary to) the point I was making. I hope I am understanding that rightly.
To be clear, I'm not implying Nick's thread was designated as some kind of "safe space", but rather agreeing with you that it was a contributing factor as to why it took so long for people to start putting some of the pieces together (Nick's enduring cuck fixation, Drexel telling on himself for years, Kayla's TMI sessions).
That said, I also agree that initially presenting Nick with the opportunity to clearly earn his thread being moved was fair/reasonable and a good model for a healthy online community. Some may try to leverage that to their undue advantage for a time, but time can also be very telling.
