thinking about the questions, what seems maybe problematic and what links them is a lack of transparency....but i havent formulated this as an objection in principle--i just want to know what is motivating at least some of the problems that folk are raising. because i have been here for quite a while now and i have no idea what is really going on (or what appears to be really going on)...

I'm with roachboy here. I find the charges of Mod manipulation and abitrary action a bit bewildering. Aside from heated Political threads or stillborn thread starts, I barely see their presence; especially since the last bout of TFP hand wringing this past summer. Am I simply reading the wrong threads?
I'd like to second Charlatan's suggestion of including Nonsense threads in "New Thread" searches. That's a valuable arena for blowing off some steam and doing so would facilitate its growth. I never received a clear answer as to why it was removed when I first asked for this back in Suggestion thread.
