Shortly after I came here I had a look at my feed, because that's what I always do, and someone had published a post about a community, then minutes later cross posted that post into the actual community they were writing about.
There are quite a few well-intentioned folk who didn't realize what was going to happen when they cross-posted, they thought it was just going to appear in the community, not create a new post. Learning curve issues.
There are things I can add in the 'pro' department, and quite a few for the 'con' section.
Definitely. However, this is the first iteration and given the chance to evolve, it might be great. Or not, but we have suffered worse perhaps :)
I've come to realize a lot of folks made a few innocent mistakes. We have to learn somehow. And honestly, if there are actual, serious, problems... I think it's fair to say we all got sick of that long ago and won't wait so long to address them. This won't be another paid votes fiasco.
I m hoping that for those who do abuse it, there will be swift consequences. I am fine to let the first error ride :)
Ya man, just be cool.
