A couple of days ago, I received an email stating that I am eligible to vote for the council election, Quarter 2. Even though I have tried to read through the election thread, I gave up petty quick as I am not interested in meta discussions about Nokia and it's role in … (fill in your favourite nokia bash topic) a.t.m., but rather in practicalities. That being said, there is one meta-topic that has my attention, and that is the current state of affairs on talk.maemo.org. I am not alone, when I say I have growing concerns about the recent posting levels and influx of users with zero Linux experience. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being new. There's nothing wrong with a desire to learn and educate yourself. Recently the forum has been flooded with postings of the following type: Now, as soon as you react with a “do search”, or “question was answered a thousand times before”, people will get very upset about “the tone of voice” and that the're only trying to solve their problem. What they don't tell you is that the're too lazy to do a basic google search and they the knowledge they need to be spoonfed. The moment you refuse that, complaints about the “unfriendliness and hostility” show their silly heads again. I believe this development to be disastrous for the forum. And I believe it was for that reason too, that forum rules like “use proper english” and “use search before you post” have been formulated. But apparently you're an a**hole nowadays if you try to remind people of those rules, or simply make them aware of them. So, long story short: I read quickly through the profiles of every candidate, and the only thing related to the forums I found, was the desire to bring the meego forum back to tmo. So, I'd like to know if there are any plans to restructure the forum rules a bit, or make them more visible, easier to find, etc. In my view, this would help improve the forum and make it easier for newbees to find what they need as well as make it more fun and worthwhile for more advanced users to spend time, here on TMO. Am I the only one who thinks this is impoportant?
