This is just my opinion and it maybe wrong. But, we had old system for over a year. Usually when we make changes, they are discussed and tried prior, so when we made this change, then we have to give it time.
Now, when I said we are not soliciting feedback, that's because we have to see how it works for now. Now, if you must discuss, then sure, make an appropriate thread in an appropriate forum and go for it. I only locked it because it was in main forum, which didn't have much to do with it.
Also, some folks were not happy about free speech statement, but it does not apply here and never has. I personally is all for transparency, as long as it falls within the rules and is on topic. So, yes, insults, useless posts, over the top rants, among other things may sometimes be deleted.
Our goal is to have an open communication, but take a look at some replies. I really don't think they fall in the communication part.
