Re: What would you say to newer members of the CD community?

Some of the threads will get very long, like this one (almost 300 posts...):

Championship location from 07 and onwards

Before you post to threads like this, take the time to read the other posts. If you're not planning to offer something new to the thread, don't post to it. If it's already been said, you're not contributing to the discussion. (I admit that in this thread, I refer to my own posts made earlier - a year earlier. I did that to illustrate that the thread was rehashing prior discussion).

Maybe the reputation system can include a "signal-to-noise" meter for its members. A member with a gazillion posts and relatively few reputation points is what I'd consider a "noise source". Whereas a member with high rep points and relatively few posts, is generally contributing "signal" - messages that have something (i.e. insight, perspective, and/or solutions) to offer to the readers. A really simple metric would be reputation points divided by number of posts...
