You know, when i made Ponyville, i dreamt that it would be a place of peace, and harmony... to correct the mistakes of Ponychan such that one day, all of the friends would come back.
Like in the Lorax!
But, instead, in my desire to create a tolerant and hands-off environment, we have created a place where kindness struggles to thrive, and bad faith behavior is everywhere. You know that story, about the nazis, and the nazi bar?
i hate to say it... but we've become a nazi bar, and it is my fault for not taking harsh action and trying to force all of you to love others into being, instead of giving you a safe space to thrive. for allowing weeds masquerading as plants into our garden, forcing so many of you out.
There are trolls constantly raiding that our tools cannot control, and who would love nothing more than to see the site shut down
And the good users, who try their best to tolerate it, just can't handle it anymore.
for those of you who are left... the very few of you who remain... i'd like to hold a referendum.
May i turn on accounts, that require passwords, and vetting?
