This particular behavior is actually against guideline 14.

Because if they talked about it they might be accused of spreading fear.
And no, that is not accurate. Because this happens all the time.
"Likewise, when posting material not your own to the forums, limit the amount of text posted to one to three paragraphs along with a link to the material, if possible. This avoids readers having to scroll through massively long posts."
When it comes to people taking up space. It is like 1990s internet, to cut down on how much to download. When bandiwdth was more limited, having to scroll through endless stuff was detrimental.
If they had to moderate that, they would need to fix the other cosmetic stuff and that is not a good use of limited time.
P.s. most people self police well. Not my concern.
I was relating the point that they did not over react after posting a link with summary when others rejected or pushed back on the subject.
They were less emotionally attached and triggered.
The subject could be discussed on the merits. Not early on in thread but it shows forum energy progressing from 2020 to march 2021. This recent experience is a setback.
