DashaBlade wrote:Yeah, it kind of makes it a little bit harder to buy the "our techs can't do this" excuse when people suggest they implement changes. You'd think that if they can completely overhaul the entire site, they would do it so that they could start doing the stuff that people have been asking about for years. Instead, users still can't, oh, flag abusive comments (for instance) but instead the designers or coders make an ugly layout with a bazillion glitches.

It's almost certain they do. Every new person they see join is an unacceptable trolling risk, in an environment where their ability to deal with even their existing user base is irreparably compromised. I found an old thread on PWOT that I can't find any more where they stated outright that they don't want new users, they have enough, and they don't want as many as they have. All we are to them is clicks of a button, and they don't want us involved with the site beyond that, their careless approach to upgrading the site is merely part of downgrading the actual user experience.

Citation needed. I found an old thread on TCS that I can't find anymore where they stated outright that they don't want new users, they have enough, and they don't want as many as they have.
