Per @[email protected]’s suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

    The wording of the announcement has been changed several times. I don’t think it specifically mentions low effort posting now but it wasn’t very clear before it was edited and it isn’t very clear now.

    There hasn’t been any real explanation of what the problem was that merited this change. Afaik only one Dunk tank mod commented on the reasoning and their comment was patronizing, unhelpful, and suggested more of a disconnect between the mod team and the users than an actual problem.

      If that’s not the reason, then I’m totally puzzled by what the argument even is. I’m all for changing the name, but if we’re not worried about post quality, why exactly are we closing the comms?
