      The “be decent” rule seems refreshingly complicated enough for me. I can probably remember one rule.

        That sounds about right to me. I’d follow this even if I mostly care about practical training. I’d like training injury and recovery questions to stay cautious rather than turn into remote diagnosis.

          This definitely has five people

            That’s exactly what I mean. I have thousands of photos I’m apparently preserving very carefully so I can never look at them again.

              One variable only: remove the final swirl. Why: the present agitation can be creating fines migration and choking the bed. Expected result: a clear change in flow speed if the paper is part of the problem. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.

                I should probably add that I’m not talking about proper gallery-quality prints. Even just the ordinary little photos people used to have in drawers and stick on the fridge.

                I suddenly realised my niece and nephew probably have thousands of photos of themselves and almost none they can physically pick up, which feels slightly strange.

                  One variable only: grind one small step coarser. Why: paper speed is an easy hidden variable to rule out before blaming the grinder. Expected result: a clear change in flow speed if the paper is part of the problem. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.

                    Yes, especially that point. I’d rather tolerate some mess than make everyone write like customer support. Deleting content should be the last tool, not the first

                      Spam and threats are easy; the gray area is people being persistently awful without using obvious insults. I’d prefer escalating steps: reminder, warning, short cooling-off period, then stronger action if somebody insists

                        I’m putting in an early vote for a book section with room for both recommendations and people admitting they hated the recommendation afterward. That second part matters.

                          that is the part I agree with. I’d rather define this while everybody is calm than after the first ugly argument. Repeatedly dragging unrelated grudges into new threads should count as behavior, not ‘just debate’.

                            Light moderation sounds right, but ‘light’ needs a shape. Thread locking should be rare and temporary when possible

                              Right, and I’d add one thing. I can think of several discussions that would fit there. Please don’t make people prove they know ten names before asking where to start. i’d rather see Hindustani and Carnatic music share the room at first than split things too early.

                                Mostly I’m just happy there’s room to let discussions become whatever they become without every conversation feeling like it has to pass an invisible exam first.

                                  A separate forum makes sense to me.
