Oh cool, I didn’t even have to reword it.

So you admit you don’t even know how things have been handled up until now? Seeing as your last regular activity before this began was 5 years ago (and was also focused on drama), that should have been pretty obvious. I don’t believe you care about the community because you’ve never been a part of this community, you’re just here to stir up drama and feel good about fighting against authority, even when you don’t even know what you’re fighting against or what the site even did up until now. Even so your opinion is just as valid as everyone else’s on this site on all sides of the argument and that’s why I’m here talking to you here now.
That being said, archive is still a vague word and just because the site has never ascribed your exact definition doesn’t mean they have an ethical obligation to host every single badly edited screencap or post advocating for violence that wasn’t caught or even noticed when it was posted. In fact, if they only hosted safe content with no hoofholding, it’s still by definition an archive, so I don’t think that distancing themselves from the word would accomplish anything.

My position hasn’t changed since all this began, that is reverting things to where they were 3 months ago but enforcing things more consistently. Blatant hate speech and low quality/low effort trolling has always been against the rules and I had no intention of relaxing the rules more than they were before. I’d said this even in the original announcement.
