| Comment | Just in case I'm being used as an example, I labelled my post boring because parking is not a particularly exciting topic so felt it was accurate, and people have been helpful which is what I expected.
Away from that, I completely get your point, but I think you are Velo are actually on the same page here, what we want is to encourage engagement and conversation with both old and new users. So you are right that we can't be turning into a wee clique, but a lot of the inane/repetitive posts can stifle actual engagement. So, yes we don't want people being arseholes for the sake of it, but the sub will die just as quickly if it's flooded with the same stuff all the time. So I suppose my point is that you are right that there needs to be a push to prevent people being abusive, but that doesn't mean there can't be an active push for good content in the first place in the sense of a bit of a welcome and what to expect. Hit it from both angles if you will. Also keeping in mind that, I assume, the mods are doing this voluntarily and may have jobs, families, etc that will, rightfully, take priority over the sub. |
