I think that the problem of disappearing posts
has to do only with that 'spellcheck' thing.
I have never seen my post disappearing,
if I made the post the correct way.
About other things.
1) This board has become quite busy.
That has resulted many posts becoming
completely unanswered, because they
become so quickly buried under other posts.
Maybe one solution would be to change
the behavior of the board so that
a) All the posts, which get new comments
would remain on the top.
b) Completely unanswered posts would
remain under the posts in the category a)
but over the posts of the category c).
c) The other posts would go lower and
lower according to their posting date.
2) 'Quarantine Zone' has become really
silent. Maybe that zone should be changed
into a 'weird newbie on the board zone' or something like?
Maybe 'Search Zone'
would be another possibility.
I can imagine that doing a search on the board
for some ideas, which new people on the board
have got in their minds, will not result
much. But when lots of search commands have
been used by new people, that would create
lots of valuable knowledge for the others as well.
So publishing results of search commands
would benefit many people.
