I'm inclined to agree. I forgot also that we had fun little threads occasionally when people got stuck on Hivemind. JzG announced his placement on Hivemind. However, an occasional humorous thread being curtailed seems like a minor price to pay.
Indeed - rather, I meant that as a humorous example. Now it appears we cannot even discuss these sites on-wiki - or at the very least, can't hyperlink URLs to them. And, of course, eventually there will be a notable site devoted to attacking Wikipedians, at which point, we will have to re-examine this policy.

I don't know if they realize that their repeated attempts at DRVs have if anything reduced the chance that they will get an article)
