Moreover, I don't think internet forums should have a concept of loyalty. It's perfectly acceptable to be a member of multiple forums. Many members here are.
I went to AD to confront some misinformation but also to encourage discussion back at AF. I know at least one person came back to make suggestions. If people come back to AF from AD after this, that's great. If they remain members of both forums, that's great too. If they just want to stay at AD, well I'll certainly miss some of them more than others but that's also their decision.
This thread is about feedback. Negative feedback is fine. We're not all going to agree on things. My hope is that people will stick around long enough to see all the changes and make an educated opinion then on whether they think the community is one they want to stay in.
It is all well and good. People can say whatever they want and afraid of hearing what they do not want, like behing their back. It is a thing. And people should be held for their words, unless they find a way to overcome such pride of admitting to be wrong. dead wrong.
And you are right, this is about the new rule and discussing thread titles. Let's not veer out of that.
People are going to say what they want, whether you like it or not. They're going to say it here, or they'll say it over there, or they'll say it on discord or slack.
The thread titles on this forum seem like a good rule for setting the tone of the thread so people don't go into it with preconceptions of how they'll respond.
