I pointed out the word criticism.. I am unable to understand you..
Oh ok I understand your point now
Criticism is already allowed, it's not going to be disallowed, because is criticism what helps understanding whether you're doing right or wrong and eventually improve. Criticism must not be mistaken with degrading, insulting or any other sort of hate speech, which is almost always not a source of improvement.
So the point of this topic was not to allow people to talk smack about others or not but instead allowing people to choose whether they want to be subject of discussion, positive and/or negative, or not at all.
Let's say I opened a thread here about you, regardless of what people are going to say, and you disagree with my choice because you don't want an open discussion about your persona, should you allowed to request a lock or removal or not? Alternatively should we allow people to open a thread about themselves
only or allow them to started a thread about other people as well? This is what this thread is about
