Kind of. The new idea with the new site is the we can moderate and customize our experience here. We can do so by disliking threads or completely removing users from out attentions. This means the ninjas are not needed to use there powers as often, but members feel free to post things that would normally get the thread lock. The down side is that everyone started doing this. Now we have a ton of "controversial" politics and religion threads and little of anything else. However, it does seem this trend is starting to peter out.
