STALE TOPICS

DEFINITION

Stale topics are defined as things that have been discussed death on the sub and there is nothing new to say at this point in time. Stale topics can also include very divisive things and attract negative commentary from Reddit users who aren't members of the sub and who are only acting in bad faith. These topics also invite brigading from toxic subreddits.

This list is updated regularly and is not complete. If we do allow discussion on any of these topics, they will be flaired 'Guest List Only' to minimize outside commentary and negativity.
