It might be interesting to calculate not just posts per day but the ratio of threads started to posts. After all, starting a topic is pro-active not reactive and says something about contributing to a forum rather than just policing it or chiming in on what someone else has said.
(Well, maemo.org only shows Roger S as having begun 118 threads, but as he is — to put it politely — more interested in his writing than anyone else is, he happens to have a copy of each post he made asking a question or offering an opinion or sharing a fact where no one else had, and 401 threads have indeed begun with him piping up first.)
And as a, well, disproportionate number of his sentiments have been prominently placed at itT, perhaps Roger S feels conflicted about having more than his share in the say of things and treads lightly upon on our new community commons.
Though as for that, I expect Roger S would get more than his toes wet if he weren't still looking for work. He's the plunging type I imagine.
I hope you and I both get hired VERY soon.
...oh and Tim S too if he's still looking!

Hi guys, just to tell you how important is moderation for the quality and interest of forums. I saw some forums lacking of moderation ... and the result was very disappointing, because most of the topics were polluted by stupid wars between members who had visibly nothig better to do ... and finally members became less interested and left.
So, thank you for keeping Maemo forums healhy and clean !!!

Can we edit tags? And more importantly, can we see who has added a given tag to a thread?

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=53
...but, it really should be here (or a completely new thread)? Anyway...
Reggie: Can you answer this for us?
Thanks!

Who do you think should have rights to add tags? I would think it should only be voluntary and only to a selected group.
The next question I guess is, how can someone apply to be part of the tagging group? I can create a publicly 'joinable' group so members can add themselves voluntarily to the group and immediately get tag rights. Good idea?
With regards to finding out who created the tag, those with edit tag rights can edit the tags and can see who created them by hovering their cursor the specific tag.

Indeed, I think a lot of the ill-will recently blowing around the forum is because people have been confusing Quim spending a lot of his spare time as a dedicated and enthusiastic Maemo advocate which Quim in his official Nokia capacity.
There is some logic in the perception that there is something wrong or at least suspicious when the same guy that is speaking on behalf of that company is also this community peer you can just discuss with. I don't agree with the logic but I understand it.
Wearing a 'SuperModerator' shirt in tmo doesn't help. Having moderator permissions doesn't help. If someone thinks that Nokia has intentions to control these forums, having extra-powers in them doesn't help.
For these reasons I will keep participating here because is fun, but I will do it as a plain registered user. At some point I don't even feel comfortable moving threads and intervening in other minor things, because maybe someone feels that...
My main goal when I requested moderator permissions was to tidy up a bit this garden and prepare for the newcomers to arrive. The goal is not complete but it's in a good way, and the trend is good. A lot of the work needed doesn't require moderator permissions (as penguinbait and qole are demonstrating) so I will keep contributing with bits and pieces, as usual.
I have tried to revoke my moderator permissions but I can't do it or I can't find out. Reggie, please when you have the time. Thanks!

In my mind, it's simple to distinguish the type of Nokia employee who's so passionate about Maemo that even if they left Nokia's employment they'd still be using the tablet, posting here and helping users and those who are doing 9-to-5 jobs to pay the rent. I don't think we see any of the latter here, though :-)
