Ranayna:
What i find odd here: The majority of people in this thread, and of the votes, is against this.
Apparently the thanks counter "has been voted off the island" once before.

And yet, here it is again. Sure, Dave can do here what he wants. But why *ask*, if you want to implement such a thing anyway?

You're right, it is disappointing.

But they may be unsure/undecided how to proceed, or they are just going to proceed anyway/regardless.

Some members seem to be floating about technological solutions, which I believe suppress some/all of the unwanted displays from appearing. They haven't been very clear on how to do it (to people unfamiliar with what they are talking about). But it is something like adding a block/script line(s) to an ad-blocker, or something.

I suppose,  once the dust settles and time passes. Others can find out what they were talking about and remove the unwanted bits by force, or spend less and less time here.

If the quality of the questions and/or posts deteriorates, some members would be put off, from hanging out here.

Predictions/Psychology can be hard, so although it might theoretically seem bad. Some of our predictions, might not turn out as badly as we thought.

It can't be that easy, being the person responsible for running the whole thing.

I think it has already been decided. This discussion will not change it.

Yes, I do...

I wonder what is to become of the non-experts.  I'm not an expert in anything, I have never worked a day in my life in the electronics arena.  I made my way in construction, typically building/operating wafer fabs and other technical facilities.  Nothing of value around here.

Sure, I took the classes and got a bunch of paper but it was a LONG time ago.  Hardly relevant to today's focus.  Hint:  the 8080 was king and the Altair 8800 was just introduced.  Hardly relevant!  So, how much paper should an 'expert' have and at what point is it no longer relevant?  Is paper even required?

I can't even imagine what will happen if the anointed expert gets the wrong answer.  I learned a valuable lesson in the Army - "Never volunteer!".

If the discussion starts and stops with the expert's post, it will be a huge loss to the site.

I don't even see a wall. What I see is an experiment going on and I trust Dave to end it if it turns towards Armageddon.
