Re:  dedegen and my position on the mod squad

Dear @jacek,

In season 6, you rolled out a new system you hadn't quite properly thought through.  Last minute, you caved to the biggest whales.  You told users to lock up their precious degen and receive an allowance to do what they want with. 

So they did.  They opened up channels for "tip-for-tip" and "401k matching" (which you condoned).

You misaligned incentives with the site's most active users, and now degen is being exploited by the people you bent the knee to.

NOW, you have appointed a select group of people to clean up this mess with subjective standards and burdened us with the responsibility of deciding "what's right."

If you want to unlock people's money and change the rules, fine.  

But I won't be a part of this.

Sincerely, 
Burr

It’s kinda wild to me that I logged into WC, IDK, 10+ times yesterday and never saw this cast even though I follow Burr and very nearly everyone in the replies 🫠 

But yeah - sad to see this super valid feedback just dismissed, this season hasn’t been good for anyone I’ve talked to in my circles, no one is happy and I’m glad I kept the majority of mine out cause feels like October unlock has potential to turn ugly

So bad - and hey, I get it, it’s not easy to be the guy at the top - you’ll never please everyone but just felt dismissive
