I see the shill patrol as unproductive and possibly counterproductive compared with an open discussion.

What they do is complain or tone police whoever has the hot seat rather than produce result or contribute to the cause.

I just think it's important to have a variety of places around. You want full-on Gamergate & Vidya, drama and all? Go to /Gamergate/. You want a place geared more towards the Ethics and general community discussion? Go to KiA. You want nothing but the dramz? Go to DramaInAction. Or mix all three up. Each board should be strict about their policies too. I mean, you can't go to /gamergate/ and start dictating the rules. Same as how you can't go to KiA and start acting like it's the Drama board. Each place is different, there will be an overlap in the communities and we'll have different kinds of discussions leading to different kinds of outcomes.

Ultimately I think the act of banning specific topics (or even trying to route them elsewhere) will be perceived negatively by the majority. People will whine about how the whole thing got enflamed because of censorship, yadda yadda yadda.

It is an exercise in making the board moderation tedious and fraught with misunderstandings. It just seems counterproductive to try and corral it.
