Brigading is a real problem and we know it.

Then why the hell is SRS/SRD/BestOf/Etc still around?

Brigading is one of those policies that exists so they can enforce it when it suits them, and not enforce it when it doesn't. It's not a rule to protect the people, it's meant to allow administration to point to a rule and say "see??? It's a rule!" when they want to take action against dissenters.

Best of is somewhat different IMO since it doesn't have a particular agenda with its brigading.

The main issue I have with brigading is when it is used to push a certain agenda onto another subreddit.

Not just those but there is a fucking *tab* at the top of every post that say "other discussions" basically building brigading right into the site to begin with.

So because we don't want brigading, we should ban all meta-content? That makes zero sense.
