[quote richorlin]This used to be a place where you could ask a Mac question and count on getting a helpful answer within a reasonable period of time.
Still is . . .
[quote richorlin]Now it seems the only thing you can count on is getting insulted.
What exactly should be done to change that? For the most part, this forum is still self-moderated-- if you see a problem speak up, of if you're feeling lucky address the person individually and see if you can give 'em a nudge in the right direction.
If you've not been getting support from the mods, say so.
As I recall the exodus from dealmac had something to do with discovering the forum split in 5 one day, and the overall lack of interest in user feedback. But beyond that there were more complaints about the heavy-handedness of the mods than there were about antisocial participants. I think the overall feeling upon moving was liberation.
So, what exactly is it that you're calling for?

If you remember, we left DM to come here for that reason.I guess i don't remember, then.
