I do not like it that people here just think in terms of the rules, and there are so maaaany rules. This kind of thinking makes the community seem very hostile. It will be better to relax the rules, in terms of thinking if something is helpful or not. Bad quality content can be anyway signaled by down votes, which are more democratic. — bosonix 7 mins ago
