This new change seems to me to be a way for someone to end a conversation, though they had to have 3 other people help them get it there. Is that an intentional change we want to make?
I was arguing against EY’s argument mentioned by Viliam_Bur in favour of this change, which I’m opposed to. Of course, given that the change has been implemented, I won’t downvote a post at −3 unless it’s obvious spam or something.
