Apparently the rants about StackOverflow had some kind of effect: https://stackoverflow.com/conduct

I'm willing to be the rants didn't do shit lol. I highly doubt anyone that works at SO with the power to change that even knows what dR is.

With that being said, it's well known the SO community is hostile and a bunch of cunts, so that's where the need for change comes in. They probably got a lot of complaint emails from people about the basement dwellers being cunts.

@Stuxnet Reddit and the blogs are full of rants about the high rep assholes at SO that are slowly turning the site into a museum of outdated answers.

@Fast-Nop I meant the rants here.

I don't use Reddit, so can't speak about the rants there.
