Thread: Chicken Flipping: Official discussion thread

A reminder to keep discussion civil and constructive—using hurtful language to refer to your fellow humans is not tolerated. Doing so may get your post deleted and you may incur a communication timeout.

Hi all, a lot of people have come forward in concerns about chicken flipping. For context, "flipping" = buying it for cheap and releasing it for a higher reward. Please check the announcement for my official statement about this.

What this thread is for

I have set up this thread to allow people to tell me what they think, in a space where others can see and respond in a constructive manner. I know that there are strong feelings on both sides. If you feel that my announcement statement is too mild or biased, you can let me know here. I am extremely busy with my life right now (until at least the end of March) so I also ask your patience before I take any further action.

You may pitch features that may help (noting the same caveat about turnaround time) and you may also respond to others' suggestions.

When discussing, remember the note at the top of this post: be civil towards other people, this includes not making generalisations about the character/morals of the people you disagree, or belittling their concerns and feelings.

Also, to set the parameters of this discussion: I have no plans to implement new rules about flipping specifically, as it's a community issue. I think that people need to settle this among themselves. My full stance is on the announcement and I will not be disallowing anything new that isn't already on the list of rules, at least for now.
