Is there a list of potential culls?

As far as I'm aware there isn't a list of all the topics and subheadings. It's trial and error. I found things by luck on the App.

List click the drop down arrows to get all boards in that topic area.

Here's a case in point. Camping thread is under threat, there's a camping question in Chat which I report to MNHQ and suggest they move to the camping topic. I get this reply:

Hi there,
Thanks, but we're content to leave it where it is for the moment, unless the OP would like it moved.
Best,
Hope

Exactly FleetwoodStorms, and then a Camping thread with valuable info for future users disappears into a morass of other badly moderated threads!

”and then a Camping thread with valuable info for future users disappears into a morass of other badly moderated threads!”

As well as presumably being missed by camping experts who could have had valuable insights to add?

People are forever posting employment questions on AIBU “for traffic”, which results in several pages of frequently dangerously inaccurate and unhelpful ‘advice’ from people who don’t know what they are talking about, but misses out on advice from people who do know what they are talking about who check threads on the Employment topic.

Completely agree, on both counts, flowery .

I have seen some truly idiotic ‘advice’ on a ‘for traffic ‘ thread on AIBU today that would lose a disabled mother her housing benefit.

It’s irresponsible.
