While I would hope that all people would behave as you would upon finding a thread to be not to their liking, I’ve not experienced that walk away response be universal, and in fact far from universal. |

My guess is that you can't observe responses of Social Justice Warriors of today, it's just a thumb down. What I didn't expect is how thin the maintenance team is. Here's practically no moderation in sense of actual moderation, only cleaning. Actual moderation possibility would need several new moderators. Usually this is not needed in places like this, where social structure is at best secondary. Cat thread is working because it is also secondary, my prediction, I've not been there, is that actual social part there is also minimal. If TEA is getting its life back this type of situation will happen again, it may take years but it will happen. Before that somebody should figure out why gnif had so few tools in use, possibilities were much more. Since TEA is special and its participants may have special ideas it should have its own section. It can also have its own spin off threads that can emerge elsewhere, like general, repair and main TE sections, if needed. Somebody wondered why TEA repair is not in repair sections. For that bd said once that there's no sense to have a thread to say I changed a diode. And if med is restoring old Tek there's nothing unusual that something needs to be repaired. TEA is different. E, typo, spell checker failed. E2, I did expect to lose the 3rd square before 2^10. |

I doubt that anybody can deny that it has lead to a large increase in the number of "new" visitors to the TEA thread (note I didn't say newbies), and that many were disappointed by their findings and this lead to a greater uplift in the level of complaints because these "new" complaints were added onto the old existing complaints and it was that new level which triggered the admin team to take a look and miss handle to the situation, and it exploded as a direct result. --- End quote --- If you want it removed it as a sticky just say so! Get other people to agree with you and I'll do it, it makes absolutely no difference to me. It's been a sticky for many years without issue. It's not like I plugged it in a video and suddenly there is a huge influx of people overnight. Last time I mentioned it was a long time ago, so long ago I don't even remember. And when I do mention it, it essentially as an example of the (extreme) passion people have for test equipment. I recommend that people post in the Test Equipment section, not in the TEA thread. I've offered many ways to try and solve the "problem" here but none of the impacted members are saying they want any of it, or even making other suggestions. So :-// |

[/quote] There was just talk on the other TEA forum how wonderful it is having different threads instead of one big long thread. Why on earth didn't someone just ask me to create a forum section for them where they could have done exactly that? :-// |
