[quote=Rich Toscano]But whatever, obviously people aren’t into it. The signal to noise ratio is terrible these days… just thought it might help but that’s not a battle I’m going to fight..[/quote]
The LA Times has up/down votes on their comments section. Its far worse than here.
I agree with you on the signal to noise ratio, ultimately, I wouldn’t pay attention to the up/down votes. The noise machine is present there too. I’d pay attention to a few other core posters I enjoy reading if they suddenly were asking me if I got kicked in the head and if that was the root cause of my new strange posts.
Personally, I think the last six months have been fascinating from a sociological point of view. A bit painful and tedious to wade through and sadly, likely to become far worse in 62 days.
As a side note, I’d add that one the issues with the signal to noise is that, to me, it seems like the board has become much more hostile and combative in posts. It also seems like 80-90% of the posts are being generated by a small group of posters (I mean really small, like 10ish).
