Dear Moderators: --It is becoming obvious to me that there is a move underway to deliberately irritate Dave. I just want to say I will not be responding anymore to any of the latest trollish posts. I will try mightily to avoid the political, henceforth. When Dave was participating in the political discussions, I did not mind also commenting, but now that it has become a major headache, I have no wish to add to it. I should like to say that I believe that the moderation on this Blog, has improved lately. Proof being that there is much less profane and insulting behavior. I also believe that the moderation has been even handed when forced to crack the whip. The Blog is growing up and we must grow up with it. "Before I came here I was confused about this subject.

I'm not exactly sure what your referring to. Everyone has a right to their opinions, as they do to defend them. |

Interesting read and there's a number of good points made too. I usually lurk around a very well known Australian tech forum, and have gotten to know a couple of mods quite well. The most common complaint is pretty much the same as mentioned here, trivial reports. People have differences of opinion regarding various topics, and I know how much of a problem that can be. But really, if people took the time to actually debate the issue properly, then chances are, everyone would be happier. Regarding the mention of using high end test equipment for a beginner? My view is that one should use the best equipment that they can REASONABLY afford. That might be a $200 oscilloscope, or a frequency reference they made from a kit. As long as it's reasonably accurate and suited for the task. If that doesn't solve the issue, then either see if you can borrow a higher end bit of equipment, or ask and see if someone's willing to do that testing for you. That's just my 2 cents though. Regards. Psychaotix. |

It is a shame that 100% of people cannot behave and there are always a few who try to ruin things. But that's humans, sadly they are not as simple as electronics or computers, other humans mindsets that are not logical will always be beyond me. Running YouTube channels have the same problem, but thankfully the trolls are dumb and kind of funny so I don't consider them a problem, have not had any problems with my websites. While I have not been on here long, it is good to see the whole community are civil engineers (pun intended :-DD). End of the day that says you are doing the right thing and large groups and channels are magnets for trolls. |

Well over the last few months we have experienced yet again an escalation in "facebook status update" style "reports" with people just sending comments and using it as a contact button. Sending a report means that 4 of us get an email and really if you don't like what someone said, we really couldn't care less unless it is deemed as offensive. |
