[IxDA Discuss] Fighting trolls

[Lorelei Brown]

I think it's good that we're having this conversation,
because it implies that there enough people doing this
long enough the same number of ways that there are
both newbies and a more or less established way to do
things.

That's a lot of progress! However, any growing
community has this issue - what to do with all those
bandwidth sucking people who keep asking the same damn
question?

I second the moderation - it helps keep the
conversational tension even between everyone. It's
also welcoming for the new or insecure who need a
little reassurance. 

I'd also request that you think about this in a
different light - maybe it's the same question, but
are you answering it the same way you did a year ago?
5 years ago? Why did you change? What's remained
constant and fundamental?

Context, delivery, user knowledge and experience are
all very different from when I started thinking about
interaction problems (too long ago to get into), and
require different tools and solutions. 

Just my two cents -
