But you guys are saying this sort of thing already exists, EP with positive experiences of it and CD with negative - shitposting?
There's plenty of forums out there with anonymous posting enabled and it almost always gets abused. It's a shame that a few bad apples ruin it for everyone else, but I don't think it's worth the hassle for AF.
