Granted it’s been over 5 years since my last ban, but I was given a heads up. And the mods do tell folks to cool it (last time there was several months ago) after which time I’m sure they’d ban me. But I listen and behave like a guest. A loud opinionated guest.

I get that that’s the workaround. Can’t hurt to ask, though.

It is fairly new. Makes it easier to start topics, which often do get triggered by “hey, check out this link and let’s discuss it…” Reddit style

Good idea. I can see that being very useful.
