Discussing the usage of the TEA thread

<< < (88/105) > >>

Black Phoenix:
Dave, why not rename the "other hobbies" section as "other communities?"

I know that cooking is hobby by the forum base model, but TEA was not at it's inception, it was as some users called a "Pub kinda experience“ so a community of liked minded uses.

pcprogrammer:
All the above is nice in some way, but without, what someone mentioned, a "constitution" it might derail over and over again.

A benefit I see from the move to a separate section is that there can also be multiple threads to discus problems in the main thread, without to much disruption of the main forum. Although the posts will still popup in the general new posts list.

As an example the mentioning of the latest talk about "OrCad" being off topic, is it an idea to use the "take it outside" pup analogy to handle such problems.

What I mean is that when a contributor or visitor of the main thread feels something should go in a separate thread or that something is so far off topic or in violation with the general rules that they create a separate thread to discuss this, and put a single post in the main thread to invite the parties concerned to join in this new thread. The bouncers way of take it outside please.

A moderator can do the same when alerted by someone that there is a problem. Only as a last resort the moderator can start removing posts that do not belong.

It all of course stand and falls with the users will and ability to abide to this "constitution" and not resort to taunting the authorities.

Then they can create one and their moderator can pin it as the top thread.
I've been accused of letting this whole thing happen, and not understanding the "TEA community". It's not my place to do it, and if I did I'd just get criticised for it.

Same problem with the rest of the forum, nothing new here. There is an Ignore Boards feature:

Sure, done, unless people have objections.

All that is left then is for bitseeker to move the thread and write up a constitution :)
