Thx for your clear explanation. Will summarize what i know about the situation in hope it will help resolve it in the long run.
-
Added back the Int Research Threads List - Had been removed / put into a paste
>They were only in the dough bc one anon pushed and pushed for that. Previously, were in a bun.
-
Same for the Other Dedicated Research Threads
Yes, that was in the bread previously.
-
Removed Endchan WarRoom Ops, they're not from our WarRoom
Good!
-
Removed the 'Newfag' Section which replaced the Research Threads list by someone who didn't discuss the change with anons
Ok - that newfag section was written by me but NOT put into the dough by me. Anon who wanted the country threads to have direct links also wanted newfags to have a pointer to the practice thread. It ended up in the dough at about the same time as the country threads (broken out). This was a few weeks ago.
Dough was originally reverted by me during a bake by OSS1, when he noticed that dough had been changed and wasn't sure it should have been. I tracked down the changes (which consisted of breaking out the country threads and adding new link to practice thread)–and i think taking out redundant Romania thread. Bread was fast, did the reversion and gave him a link just before end of bread. Still don't know why baker broke out the country threads or made other changes - maybe got talked into it by anon who wanted it.
Afterwards, that anon (i assume it was the same one) keep spamming the board with the country threads and link to practice thread. Finally, i showed him something i was working on that would include the practice thread: the "newfag guide."
He apparently liked it bc he added it to his spam post promoting direct link country threads. I ignored it after that. But one day, saw both had been added to the dough - prolly talked another baker into that, but i don't know.
So idea of a newfag guide was mine but i'd never just add a big section like that wo/discussion. Wasn't finished with it anyway. But when it appeared, let it alone.
So that's everything i know.
Not too happy with broken out list appearing in dough again, in part bc of space concerns and in part bc it's the result of someone pushing something in a way i don't respect. As you say, no one should be able to sneak stuff into the dough.
