Comm request: the_dunk_court (hexbear.net)

Per @[email protected]'s suggestion in the thread announcing the closure of the tank comms I am suggesting a replacement comm

The concept of the comm is that it would be exactly the same as the_dunk_tank but without the unfortunate racist connotations of the name. Also, the name actually describes the content that is intended for it. Not sure why we made it any more complicated than that in the first place. Also, you can post things like articles from The Atlantic, which are also notable, and not just stuff about famous people.

Also, we should just go ahead and unlock Dredge_Tank

I honestly don't mind the dunk tank rename, we will rise again.

I will say I think the conceptual idea in separating dunk/dredge makes sense in terms of punching up vs sideways (i.e. posts from David Brooks vs ransoms from the Internet), but I also never minded the conflation so shrug-outta-hecks

What if we made a rule that says the have to be labelled as either uppercut or haymaker, then we totally ignored that rule and got all our posts removed like I do whenever main is unlocked?>
