1. My take on this is that I don't see a need to rewrite anything.

Why? Because the amount of venting and other meta-like discussions here do not constitute enough about which to be concerned. If you were to compare the number to total posts, and then do the same for that other safe haven, my unscientific educated guess from random observations would be that their number would far surpass ours. It's almost like a daily occurrence there, and no one seems to think that's a bad thing.

Now, if anyone is calling out another member by name, please either alert or PM a host so we can take care of it. I will admit that I do not read every thread, and much less, every post, so I won't see if someone is doing a typical call-out. If, on the other hand, they are alluding to another member without using their username, then that's well within the rules, and not a callout per se.

What seems to be happening around here is that we have some new members or new people noticing us, and participating in discussions that can be construed as meta. So far, I haven't seen the kind of fights that were associated with Meta when it existed, so again, I have no concern about a few threads here and there discussing problems. We need to discuss problems or things will get out of hand. And I don't think we're anywhere near that level of chaos as yet.
