I understand your perspective. Nobody, including me, wants a forum full of unbridled praise (unless warranted, and we ain’t there).
However, you only see the threads and posts after moderation. You don’t see the permanently moderated folks, the ones who join and whose first 3 posts never make it because they are useless drivel, the deleted personal attacks, and so on.
It’s actually spectacular to hear that that is your perspective. It means we’re doing a good job moderating.
But it doesn’t mean it doesn’t take a lot of work to keep it that way.
I stand by what I wrote. I’m also okay to disagree, as both of us is operating on feelings (I really should write a sentiment analysis script at some point), and I don’t have stats.
But based on what the mods see, we generally agree it tends to skew negative, and it takes effort to keep the forum balanced. Conversely, managing “overwhelming positive praise” is less of an issue, as people simply don’t show up to scream about what they like from the rooftops at nearly the same clip.
That doesn’t also mean there aren’t real issues. Don’t take any of this to suggest the car is perfect or people should stop discussing both the good and the bad.
