Fact is, that the council is the community's representatives to Nokia, a grease for keeping the cogs moving if you want. I haven't seen any real complaint with the work they do on these forums, and I don't think penguinbait's original issue was with any of them in particular.

.. unless I'm drastically misunderstanding the point you're making, which is possible..
The point I was making is/was that this forum should and could be a fantastic tool for the community. All tools need to be taken care of or they will break. Any tools used by a community need to have rules of use in place because the "someone else will take care of it" mentality usually comes into play.
Any rules of use must be good for the tool and not the dang community.
The community can not by committee decide what is good for the tool. They can assign a person to be in charge of the care and maintenance of the tools and that person who by assignment sees and uses the tools everyday will know more about what care and maintenance an individual tool needs and should be given the resources needed to insure that his assigned task is fulfilled.

Simple azat.

But again my comments are apparently personalized and viewed as "restrictions".

Nothing personal in my comments, just a means to an end.

If I was getting personal... well that is a whole 'nother book with many chapters and the person who started this thread would pro'ly be in the first one.
