Propaganda in the boards
These boards are a very crazy place, often filled with people trying to convince others of any number of things. Nerf x, buff x, delete x for good, undo x, etc. It may be hard for some people to figure out what is actually going on at all.
I have here a way for you to decipher the ways people are trying to persuade you. This is a game where you are given a small paragraph or section of text, in which you have to find which form of propaganda the writer is using to make you agree with them. I myself am using passing from the acceptable to the dubious here, among others.

Good luck figuring out how your mind is being manipulated.
