Concern #2 was about the technical topic at hand, and a decision has +</I>><i> been reached, waiting to be fully implemented. +</I>><i> +</I> +As I saw it the discussion on the real issue was minimal and the "decision" was +pushed without any proper agreement. + +><i> > and little or no consideration of the utility of the Forum as a research resource +</I>><i> > for users and of the fact that this limit can make life difficult for those people +</I>><i> > who spend time providing assistance to other users. +</I> +Exactly + +><i> You have to distinguish the forum-as-a-discussion-place (where keeping posts in +</I>><i> their original form is crucial) and the forum-as-a-support/doc-tool-place +</I>><i> (where obsoleting/updating posts, with update timestamps is crucial as well). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Both have their own contingencies and may be best served by distinct platform +</I>><i> (the former is more in phpBB's original purpose, the latter more in an +</I>><i> equivalent to <A HREF="http://stackoverflow.com/">http://stackoverflow.com/</A> platform). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> If those are to be served by the same platform, that makes several use cases to +</I>><i> satisfy. And here obviously, the forum was first thought as a discussion +</I>><i> platform. +</I> +Well no actually :- +<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/support/">http://www.mageia.org/en/support/</A> + +This shows the forum as primarily a "support forum" not as a discussion place. + +><i> +</I>><i> So you may of course argue of the contrary, but arguing won't lead as far as +</I>><i> really giving a hand, joining the team and helping to better configure the +</I>><i> team, the platform, and if needed, a distinct platform. +</I>><i> +</I> +By reporting this bug the intention was to give a hand at improving the forum +by making the job of those prepared to help and offer support easier. +Likewise with <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188</A> which has also +fallen on stony ground. + +><i> Furthermore, arguing of one's experience with forum is not that much helpful - +</I>><i> some have satisfying experience with forums with no edit capacity, as that was +</I>><i> an expected behaviour. +</I> +The whole point of this bug report is that this is NOT expected behaviour.
