She left after a dispute with moderators over “off-topic” posts. Not banned. Folks have tried to coax her back to no avail.
the signal/noise does get rather low at times and I sympathize with the mods’ plight. However - the knowledge and insight I’ve gleaned from these pages has been enriching in many ways. So I try to look at sifting through the noise as just the price I have to pay for the good nuggets of info and insight
Wasn't "moderators", it was one moderator. Wasn't a dispute either, she was just made to feel very unwanted, so left. There was a window of opportunity for her to return, along with Fact Checking, but that has passed. I tried.
OK, I see the cyclical discussion about content on this forum... my thoughts...
I spend a lot of time here, I read every post, some quicker than others, conversely some I have to read several times to understand, someI never will.
I personally appreciate the interjections of humour we get and I like a bit of banter between us, I would hate to see this be out-lawed and the forum to become sterile, we are humans, after all, plus the odd house-pet. Imagine Curt's William Tell being deleted after another ATH, indeed, unthinkable.
Two things that I feel can be improved:
- the tendency to go down rabbit-holes on any range of subjects other than something pertinent to $TSLA, the moment this starts to happen, take it to an separate thread, I've learned to speed-read these myself
- some posters feel the need to post constantly, about everything, maybe you could just throttle that back bit too, because I look at the avatars passing and skill those too
Otherwise keep it as it is.
BTW, for the asking for changes to the forums itself: filters, different voting buttons, note that the mods have no leeway over this at all, they can only work with what they're given. I was hoping they might update the forum software itself to something more modern with some flexibility, but not happened yet.
And for all you newly-minted Teslanairs, if you don't do so yet, become a supporting member...
