How can we improve RAT in 2012
#31
Quote:Most posters are kind, helpful and friendly in their desire to share information and assist those who perhaps are not quite so knowledgable. We all start off along this road at some point, and we all occupy different places along it. In that respect we are all grateful at some point for some useful tips from those who have gleaned more from their lengthy studies and detailed expert knowledge.

But, as Robert V knows only too well (from me recently), some of us fall prey to snide attacks or pompously superior commentary from others here who seem to thrive upon that tactic. I have made the mistake of publicly lambasting them for that approach in the past. It has been suggested to me that a better retort is to report the transgressor - and that is what I will do in future.
I'm not fond of that approach, for the same reason I wouldn't in real life; if you find someone offensive you should either say it or just stop talking to them. I haven't noticed a problem, but I firmly believe that moderation should be transparent. For example, if a thread is locked, the moderator who does it should post with their name and justification; if a post is deleted then there should be an explanation why unless it was blatant spam. I certainly think the forum would be open to a rousing discussion of archaeological theory ... some people might not be interested, but not everyone is interested in the best way to construct a particular lorical segmanta typology's hinges.

I haven't started many new topics lately because I am busy with school, and my "Median dress" project is in hiatus. On the other hand, linguam Latinam melior lego, ich habe ein bischer Deutscher gelernt, καί βάρβαρος ούχ ειμι.

Do we have any data on number of posts, number of new topics, etc.? Many forums do seem to be slowing down in the past few years, and I don't know why, other than that there are new distractions on the internet (social networks, YouTube, more and better games and webcomics).
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
