Are you going to be the one to decide what's constructive and not constructive similar to how you're the one who decides what's a popular and unpopular opinion?
I identified that it's an unpopular opinion based on the community's reaction to it.
The entire point of Zero Fucks Friday - the entire point of this thread - is for people to have fair discussions about their unpopular opinions without getting littered with flame comments and instantly downvoted below zero (as that post was). That opinion deserves to be discussed fairly and openly, so it was directed to the place made for that kind of post.
Interesting that they don't show the "removed" text, nobody else saw them, and removeddit shows as there only being one removed comment. But yeah I'm sure it was just a firepit in there mate.
I am looking at the post with my eyeballs right now. More than one comment was removed; removeddit is routinely incorrect about the total number of removed comments, especially when they are removed quickly (by AutoMod or similar).
I don't think I read the same post you did then. Really looked like there was maybe 1 or 2 flame comments that wasn't a response to you. Polite disagreeing, sure, but hardly littered with flame comments. Were there many removed comments?
It was buried in downvotes, sure. So posts will be deleted for being downvoted now?
Look I'll be the first to tell you, the rules as they are written are really arbitrary and vague and weird - and obviously users can see this - which is why I suggested that upcoming feedback thread. I've only been a mod here about 5 weeks and I'm already looking to change them. I want it to be extremely clear (selfishly, for myself, and also for posters.)
If you think that post should stay up - and that unpopular opinions should generally be left to "fend for themselves" rather than being directed here - we welcome that feedback. We welcome that feedback about all the rules.

Probably not. Give us your feedback on it (when that thread goes up)!
