I just checked the front page (I use New Posts as front page), and out of 50 posts, 4 are Rat Kings.
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/kiva-bay-kiva-smith-pearson.21972 (Kiva Bay, who arguably is more notable for other things)
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/alex-c-leal-desertfox899.21199 (Alex C. Leal my own pet Rat King and I won't let that thread go anywhere)
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/norar...gar-daddy-john-fleck-and-the-norasphere.20118 (Nora)
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/locria-courtright.16676 (Locria)
This is hardly crowding out all the other content, and these are all notable. If the other threads are just short stubs and aren't generating content anyway, how are they crowding anything out?
The OPs, mostly by
@chimpburgers, are generally pretty well researched with a good methodology but he might have gone a bit overboard in creating so many of them, mostly inspired by the rich vein of comedy gold that Nora Reed represents. There has never been a Twitter idiot who has so many followers who are all themselves absolute morons.
If we're going to merge threads, though, I don't like picking some arbitrary number. The ones that are on the front page now belong there.
Merging the little stub threads that aren't likely to amount to anything makes sense. Maybe pick some arbitrary time and just merge anything that hasn't had action in a week or so? I don't know. That really wouldn't deal with the issue of these threads clogging the catalog, though, as they aren't active anyway.
I suppose this post could have been a way of stating in a neutral, pragmatism-based way that the site has an unhealthy and pointless obsession with trannies and it looks bad and is getting a bit silly. That's not going away though until some other batch of cows comes along.
tl;dr maybe we should merge the batch of older threads that generated little to no activity but that wouldn't solve the stated problem of pushing other threads down because that isn't happening anyway.
