Can you explain what you mean when you say it “didn’t work out”? Yes, there are other places to discuss this but then you just end up with two threads – one VIP and one non-VIP – which IMO is surely even more unmanageable.
I don’t see what’s so hard about:
- one topic which is just the announcement and any follow-ups to the announcement from Trakt staff alone
- another topic for all Trakt users to discuss the announcement.
Because why should non-VIP users not get an equal opportunity to voice their opinion on Trakt decisions? After all, listening to non-VIP opinions – and acting on them – may persuade them to become VIPs too.
For example I’d love to continue voicing my opinion in this discussion as it affects both VIPs and non-VIPs but you’ve closed the discussion to me for no valid reason.
You have once again clearly not listened to your users’ concerns over the last year about transparency, communication and accountability.
You may say this announcement is those things. After all, you have communicated a policy change and have been open about it. But if you don’t allow people to participate, then it is the opposite.
This is once again stifling discussion and debate. It is censorship.
