Can't we keep W&C as it is and simply add a Thumbs Down forum? I always saw W&C as a place to vent. Thumbs Down seems more like a dumping ground for negative reports.

Mostly the people who find their threads put in that forum. It's been a problem since its genesis. No one likes their thread moved, and the name comes across as insulting to them on top of that. The scope of the forum has not changed in the least.Who are the users that felt "whine and cheese" should be renamed? There's a regular bunch of us here on this thread baffled by the change.
Again, nothing has changed about W&C except for the name. Here is the forum's description:Can't we keep W&C as it is and simply add a Thumbs Down forum? I always saw W&C as a place to vent. Thumbs Down seems more like a dumping ground for negative reports.
Me? I think being as transparent as possible is invaluable and generates trust.
While you like to smear and dog pile users, I don't play that game.
Sorry Steve,
We've told you that the post is problematic. Anything further and we would have to violate our rules about privacy for others. While you like to smear and dog pile users, I don't play that game. I'm not going to air the dirty laundry between these two: that's up to them and them alone. We can only be transparent about our actions: not others.
I've been quietly watching this ever since I raised the question and while the move STILL does not make sense *to me* (I can't see it happening for ma and pop 6 pack down the street) I've kept my mouth shut bc an *attempt* at a reasonable argument has been made, at least.
however... Whatsup with this personal attack on scuba steve? I do not know him from Adam but I think it's a personal attack to say he likes to dogpile and smear users isn't it? Not that he needs me to defend him but it just strikes me as odd/ironic.
In many cases mods do some thread house keeping removing such comments and then post of warning that continued comments will get the thread moved. That was never done in this case. So with that in mind, let me suggest that some house keeping be done, when completed the thread is then placed back into the original forum, and then locked.
An attack would be calling someone an idiot.
