This board has always had standards - from the start. 8bit had standards, he just didn't broadcast them. He set them forth and anons used em. Under 8bit, anons couldn't change General image. And they knew it.
The argument that "we have no standards" is simply not true. We've had all sorts of implicit standards, especially for baking. Just not CODIFIED.
Example - anon suggested bakers assist as a job for note-takers who couldn't or didn't want to bake. 8bit said no. End of discussion.
You re-read the Welcome page. Free speech doesn't mean no traditions, rules of thumb, or structure. We have structures - OSS kicked them in the pants. Result - anons banned, notes not collected, ebakes, and lots of spam. New standards - no anons banned, spam deleted, CP deleted promptly, same with bread numbers corrected, catalog cleaned. Because of STANDARDS.
