>>103409i'm not the op and i've been here since 2017, and the relationship general you bumped hasn't been around that long either, nor was it ever required. you can go to the catalog right now and find several other personal threads, many of which are about relationships. this has never been disallowed, and your personal dislike of these types of threads, or typing style, or anime, does not mean everyone else needs to adjust to your personal preferences. the suggestion of doing away with them has been suggested on /meta/, and the response multiple times from admin has been that these types of threads are allowed. there are other users here who completely disagree with you and prefer having less restricted threadposting because otherwise nothing is allowed outside of a few generals, which is the status quo on some other sites but not here. if you take that much issue with it, you can hide the ones you dislike here, or go to sites with your preferred style of moderation, but your assertion about board culture here being against personal threads is simply wrong. the sole purpose of this board is to "talk about relationships of all kinds, ask for advice, or just vent." people often get better responses from making their own threads and it is often warranted for greater fluency of discussion.
