I have moderated several forums over the course of 15+ years, and I have never come across this kind of content. But then again, all of them were very specialized in their topics. I still am convinced that we would be better off if we went back to small forums for people sharing common interests rather than having a huge platform. People can police their small group of peers much more easily. It works.

Communities grow - I think this kind of strategy only works on a small scale. If it was adopted en masse, it becomes self defeating. Suggesting everyone change groups the moment their current group reaches a certain size ignores the greater point, which is that these large groups are going to exist/emerge regardless.
