Usually BWBURKE94, I would agree with you. If we were four posts down, I would say "Let's talk about other solutions," and we'd all pitch our own ideas and widdle down changes to the text. But I feel like this thread has been going on for so long and is so unorganized that any real solution someone would want to pitch here would be shot down extremely quickly. I can't expect an admin to read through 74 posts of randomness before reaching the part that "is important."

If there's anything that I've learned about these forums, it's that they're not good places for pitch-a-thons, where every user pitches their own solution and no one, in the end, actually decides on the best option. If someone wants to start a forum about those special little stories that are set in a Doctor Who Universe but not the Doctor Who Universe, then I would love to take part and I think we could work something out. It is a contensious topic worth debating. But I feel like this ship has sank to be honest.

I actually have a few potential ideas on the best place to take our page on our policies on valid sources, but I don't feel actively comfortable posting them here because of how unlikely it is that this forum will ever go someplace.

I just can't justify trying to change the entire point of the thread 74 posts down.

I would very much appreciate it if an admin could close this thread without passing any judgement on anything but the first poster's pitch.
