I'm of the mind that click baiting is dishonest, though I've never cared enough to bitch about it. Others see nothing wrong with it while some actively like it.

While I agree with the new rule, I don't care if it stays or goes as I think it will have a minimal impact, if any at all.

It probably could have been handled with an announcement asking people not to do it, but I'm not on the staff.

We did announce it: https://atheistforums.org/thread-47370.html

We always announce rule changes.

I know that.

To clarify my point, I think it could have been handled with an announcement without a rules change.
