Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yeah, it is the stereotypical glass cliff, with the twist that everyone knows that Elmo is still responsible for all decisions and she has nothing to say.

Because Elmo is that kind of genius.

Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea the Glass Cliff was a thing but now I'll be looking for it in the future. I remember the same thing happening on Reddit with Ellen Pao.

Yeah, I first learned about glass cliff when reading about Ellen Pao, it's probably one of the best examples of it.
