Hello our fellow LFE members! I am here with a question which would probably clear and improve some things that I'm struggling with. I'm posting this to you all first, before discussing with other mods, as I think this needs an input from the whole community.
Lately we've seen a number of discussions in various topic that I wouldn't call "intellectual". A high number of replies consists of only a few words, which express only the feeling but not the reasoning. The problem here is simple - if we disposal that kind of posts, suddenly there're no more posts left.
LFE has always been a place where one word posts are instantly disposaled, at least as far as I remember. But the paradox in my eyes is that we don't have enough of the "intellectual" community to afford trashing all the not so smart posts. After seeing how other forums handle this I've come into conclusion that it is not necessary to disposal all the small posts, ie "cool, well done", etc.
Although I'm asking for your opinion on this, as I don't want to be one sided or close-minded; I want to see what you think, because I might be totally wrong.
Sorry for the longer than usual post.
