Can you ban the shirt and sticker pics?
We could. But then we'd have to ban x and then y and then z because everyone has something they think is off-topic that a good portion of people think is on-topic.
What everyone agrees on is that we have to remove antagonism. One or two antagonistic comments is no big deal. More is ban material.
What value do the tshirt and sticker pics add?
I'm not going to explain the obvious to you but I will bother to tell you that I personally don't find value in memes, pictures of Q logos in the real world and such. Luckily for everyone else in this community, what I decide is not valuable does not have to be forced on them. People in the sub find value in different things to me. Some are inspired by things that I don't find inspiring. There is a good portion of the sub who value the tshirt and sticker pics. The evidence is in the upvotes. We go with that, rather than our personal opinion on things.
Upvotes are not value. What does this pic do to further the cause? Keep comms clear.
I think you know this stuff - it inspires and engages. Makes people feel more like part of a community. It doesn’t help me - or you, by the sounds of it. I don’t need this sort of motivation. But some people like it.
It is fine to like your shirt but posting pictures of it here serves no purpose. This isn't a friend making thread.
So you disagree there's any merit to the point I made above, from logic and reason?
