User blog comment:EmpyrealInvective/Regarding PotM (again)/@comment-2240864-20151120044535

Please note that we reserve the right to and will not hesitate to remove the PotM feature from this site if it continues to be a broken feature that people are consistently determined to abuse.

We removed the chat feature because people were abusing it heavily. For far too long, people have been abusing this feature as well and it may very well be in danger of being removed for similar reasons—a percentage of terrible people ruining it for everyone else.

We have a Spotlighted Pasta section now. We don't necessarily have to have PotM because it is becoming apparent that people are more than willing to abuse the system in order to promote their stories.

For what, though? What do you gain other than a meaningless ego boost?
