Changing peoples expectations by putting it under general chat and changing the title a little might prevent the flood of complaints?
I'm not suggesting it would change the posting behavior, I'd like to keep it as a community which it has grown into.

Why am I so annoyed?  Because I'm one of those who was bothered by it all.

Do us all a favour - if you want to do your "social studies" then fine, but keep it to yourself.  You are never going to get the sort of information needed to come to any clear conclusions - you'll just have ongoing supposition and guesses which isn't helping anyone ... except, perhaps, yourself.

Unfortunately I'm clearly not so good in expressing myself. What I meant to say was that the group bothered by the moderation that followed on the reports of disgruntled members, is the minority.

Which I stated in a later post https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/discussing-the-usage-of-the-tea-thread/msg4385005/#msg4385005

And sorry if I offended you with my interest.

You would still have the problem that not everybody in the same group has the same idea on what sits well with others, and the same would happen again.

Splitting up the threads would probably not help either because some might be to lazy to switch to the other thread to post their very important off topic information, or fear that it might not be seen by the target audience because it does not frequent the other thread.

As good set of rules and a group that is able to correct itself, like it was, works until someone makes a mess of it again. The only solution is then to remove the offender, but that information has to come from the group itself.

Will check out the voting thread now and try to refrain from further input.

Brumby:
I was more frustrated with what I saw as achieving nothing.  If I have misinterpreted, then I too apologise.

Sometimes one forgets that expressing opinions via text can be somewhat lacking.  It can be like trying to appreciate opera via teletype.

Agreed.  As I said earlier, the TEA thread is defined by its content, not its location.
