Hello All,
There is something that I'd like to get off my chest, and since maybe some of you also have similar thoughts and feelings, I thought it appropriate to share openly.
I'd like to discuss the forum and the quality of posting.
Unfortunately, I've noticed that the quality of posting has reduced quite substantially, at least in the past 3 months or so. There seems to be little to no moderation. I've seen people replying to their own posts with bizarre commentary when no-one responds to them. A flat earther has taken up residence in the forum and is now using it to spam their nonsense beliefs all over. There are constantly new bot/spam accounts popping up, starting new threads on products. And generally the level of discourse is approaching reddit levels of silly (my choice of analogy, others will probably have their own!).
I believe if the forum continues to degrade in this manner, then any sensible individual will take one look at the forum, and be put off. I'd even hazard to extend that, and suggest that it may put off podcast guests from participating in threads about their own interview.
I'd like to see better moderation (any?) because at the end of the day, I think the forum will suffer if it continues to be left unattended, so to speak, and people may just gravitate elsewhere.
Interested to hear what others think.
