If you remember, we left DM to come here for that reason.
Please do not assume your opinion speaks for everybody.
If you remember correctly, there were a variety of reasons people left DM. Not all of them were shared by everybody.
There are a few posters here who go out of their way to say something negative when they see an opportunity. That won't change and that's very tough to moderate.
I think most of us are adult enough to know when we are being rude, mean, and/or spiteful. That is seldom a matter of interpretation except to a few addle-pated posters who see insult in every response that does not contain praise.
Maybe the S/N will increase, but I hold no great hope. It's subject to Forum Ebb and Flow, and trying to stem the noise seems to be losing battle.
In real life we associate with a narrower spectrum of people, given the choice. I don't think most of use would associate with most posters here, just because of the various personalities that can anonymously gather and post.
And some of us probably would not tolerate the behavior of some of the posters.
