This whole issue has received a lot of attention, and web traffic, over the past few weeks. In general whenever there are changes, some people are happy and others are not. From what I have seen, simply put, is the current management of the site (owner, admin, moderators, tech team or whoever makes decisions here) do not give much weight to the public opinion of site members. The decisions are made behind closed doors (even though there could be a lot of infighting amongst the decision makers, but the public don't know what is going on). In the end, whatever decision is passed down is law and there are no systems in place to challenge these decisions. On the contrary, the role of the ruling parties is to convince the members that this is the ruling and by abiding by the new rules then everything will be fine... of course until they change the rules again. I have seen people banned, shamed, and everything in the middle for speaking against the decisions or pointing out failures in the current system. That's fine. It's their site and can choose to do whatever they want with it. They can bar people for not using code tags or add it for them... it's their decision. I'm just tired of us offering our sincere advice only to be treated like a whining child wanting a toy. The system (hardware, software, algorithms, tech support, etc) is in a worse state than most competing forums and that is all neglected... so why should it bother me that the desires of the people who actually support the forum by spending time contributing with questions and solutions be any less neglected
