There is nothing uncivil or administratively actionable about posting posts that "lack value" in the eyes of some peers, no matter the number of peers who agree on the assessment. However, Dr. Bob asks that we not post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, even if no names are used. In this case "certain posters".
It's fine to bring up suggestions for rule changes at babble. But it isn't within site guidelines to negatively characterize the posts of others in doing so, even if the others are not specifically named.
If you wish to provide non-hypothetical examples, you might wish to email Dr. Bob or use the contact the administrators function.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Dinah, acting as deputy to Dr. Bob
