The Coalies Are Back In Town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

You're treating it like either/or, when I doubt the mods will see it that way. Something can contain characters and worldbuilding, and can also contain neither. If the story has the characters performing actions, you're not going to get an EPH for your character-centred request.

You could try DNW-ing worldbuilding, but you'd probably just stress out much better writers, while the person who produced the work-shifts-on-a-space-ship/station piece you loathed would give you infodumping regardless.

That’s pretty much my argument. If they aren’t going to treat it as either/or, what is the point? The people who love (or hate) worldbuilding can’t guarantee they’ll get it and the writers who are keen to give it will give it regardless. All it does is create another tag they need to wrangle without solving the problems for the people who want or DNW it.
