severity_softlyFor any of you Criminal Minds people who care about personal choice, please go vote NO on this poll.
My reasoning here, but there are many other good points made as well.
I can't BELIEVE how many people are voting yes. I actually really pisses me off. They are talking about not only deleting posts, but BANNING people as well, over something that should be completely up to the poster's discretion.

sodoesracheal puts it more succinctly than I do: "Moderator of a community and ruler of a community are two different things. Some people have legitimate reasons for disabling comments. Taking the choice away is wrong."
And you know, I think this is what gets down to what bothers me the most about this. I can't even remember the last time I posted fic to that comm, and to the best of my knowledge I have never disabled comments there either. I haven't seen the point yet. Yet even as someone the rule would have never affected as of yet, allowing comments or not on a post that is not offensive is a personal choice (just as deciding whether or not to click a link to a discussion held elsewhere is), and taking away our choice is wrong and abuse of power by the mods.
ETA2: Fuck it. This is all just going to get wanky if I keep replying. I am angered by a couple comments made, but I have no interest in wank.
Vote NO. IJS.
