Reception

gollark: This has been explained already.
gollark: I also do this, but:- how often do the search queries contain things you dislike- how hard is it to scroll past it or whatever, given that average queries probably won't bring up much of that
gollark: I do not think search is a significant issue, and the logreading thing can be fixed.
gollark: I mean, you could shunt it to an archive channel via webhook things after however long, but that would have its own issues.
gollark: The precise time is tunable, after some amount of time it would probably cease to be discussed. And why should they *not* exist? The logreading issue is fixable as I said, search... maybe less so, but I'm not sure how many search queries actually turn up that stuff *now* and how big an issue it would be.
