Hear hear to Monkeyman's comments. I don't mind a little bullying, a little comedy, or a little popularity, but sometimes it gets out of hand. One thing that has consistently infurriated me is my repeated comments to stop calling ebay auctions "Spam", but members keep doing it. There have been times too where I felt like a serious topic could not be discussed without someone putting a joke into it (whether the joke was designed to liven it up, or defuse tension, or whatever).

I have been thinking for a while now how to help this, but I'm not quite sure how, yet.

I do think we have a problem finding useful information here ...

Search is not quite useful enough to be a perfect solution, and the important info (which comes less and less frequently) is getting diluted with less-useful posts.

I have often thought of a "Best Of Tiki Central" section which would call out the important topics. Also, improving search would help.

I'm also looking into mass moderation techniques, but that required heavy modification of the database, I'm afraid.
