    I'm in no way advocating that anyone be allowed to go around threatening or verbally abusing others throughout the site or to the entire "party" as you so put it. But that is where I think the whole party anology just doesn't fit. This is a private site or party, yes, and ultimately what is and is not allowed here is completely up to the hosts of said party. While I may not agree with some of the rules, I still respect that they are in place. However, this house party is not just occuring in one large convention center area. It has many rooms. I may not like what's occuring in one room down the hall, but if that's the case, i'll just stay out of there. I'll advise others to stay away too through downvotes of any room material that moves its way on up, as i'm sure many others will as well. In this way, things are self regulating. I never saw FPH material on the front page of reddit as it would have never recieved enough upvotes. Hell, I didn't even know it was a thing until after it was shutdown, which shows just how much of an effect its' existance had during its' heyday. What i'm getting at is that personally, even though I may not care for the ideas or opinions of those types of people, I don't see anything wrong with allowing them to create a place of their own to go and speak to other ignorant but like minded individuals.

      That's because you've never been on /r/all. A lot of posts reached it, because the fph community was pretty big and that not a lot of people who despised the community would go there just to dislike their posts. The problem noticed with fph is that they would annoy a lot of redditors. There are several stories where they would take pics posted on Reddit and post them in /r/fapeoplehate and then link the user who posted the pic to the fph thread. If we're going with the party analogy, it's like having fph in one room, but an unlocked room. People can come and go and spill the hate, which is not what this community wants. Yes, by having these rules, Snapzu are closing their doors to a lot of people. Although, I think the creators of this site would rather have a site who runs just fine with a great community than generating a lot of money while having a somewhat toxic community.

        I apologize then, as you're right, I don't often visit /r/all, just the main reddit.com page. You're analogy with the unlocked room makes alot of sense and I can see how that would be problematic and definatley something that this site would want to avoid. I suppose I just wish that the community could figure out some sort of way to allow all mindsets here while at the same time keeping some of the harsher areas quarantined. Also, and I say this with no sarcasm whatsoever, thank you for enlightening me on some of the FPH history. I'd rather be shown to be wrong on an issue and aquire correct information that to continue on misinformed.

        @BretsFan4Ever -

        Wow, it's not on Reddit that I ever had a civilized argument like that. Kudos to you for being able to change your perspective despite the pride.

      This is not reddit and it is time to move on.
