Meta category has now been taken off front page

[polpolrene]

Of the frontpage is fine for a lot of discussions. I have great replies/debates over there with Warren and Jannitor and others. Including humor, stockcharts, arguments, counter-arguments etc. I’m very happy we allow these discussions here on the forum, even if you need a extra click before you get there. I mentioned a discussion about moderation in the last Forum Update. Here’s what I said:

@polpolrene

When it comes to moderation a discussion was started in this topic. It was about when topics should move to off-topic and how far we should go in keeping people on-topic in respect to the OP. Well, that’s not always clear. In the off-topic category we try to intervene as little as possible. We even try to stay out when people move away from the OP. Another thing we noticed was a huge number of new topics about the price of Maidsafecoin. We merged some of them because otherwise the whole frontpage got filled about the price being up, down and back up again. But just to make clear, speculation is welcome. Everybody is free to post whatever pricetarget they want. Even if the source is their gut-feeling or the rise of a new star on the horizon .

I included the link to the topic for everyone to join. After that we had other topics about moderation:

• “On topic” citations should stop"
• “Let the Users decide if something is off topic not the mods!”
• “Proposal: Simplify Moderation, Accept it or Vote on it”
• “Request for consistent moderation towards reasoned arguments”

Name me one forum where mods replied to so many requests in so many different topics about moderation. But this is us, we’re always open to debate. But you need an extra click to get there. The frontpage is used for Project SAFE. We’re growing 133% faster when it comes to new users than 30 days ago. So that’s a lot of new people on our frontpage .
