You may have all notice that there was a thread here discussing weather or not we should require a certain amount of posts before they could start a thread.
Then there was another one and in the act of merging...mistakes were made.
Now they are both gone to Todash as it seems, but it was a pure accident.
But it seems like folks got there opinions out so it was probably time to move it to a management discussion which I am doing now. I had a chance to read most of the thread before it went.
I am going to suspend deciding until I find out what management's opinion but I will leave my personal opinion in here as well.
I actually agree with Unfound and Brice in this case. I think we should promote new people on this site getting involved. If that means we have to merge a few threads, that serves as a way to refresh and rehash conversations. We have the staff to accommodate merges and being able to start a thread with your own thoughts makes people feel good.
Then we swoop in with a polite message that says its already going on and merge.
Not to mention, there are nuances. Someone could see threads about the Horn--why Roland had it...the origin of how he picked it up but maybe not...(for instance) where it came from.
Someone may feel like they have a fresh perspective on an old topic and I want to see those.
So this is up for management discussion, we'll hash something out. Thanks for the input and opinions everyone.
