I have seen a dramatic increase in endless September questions sincethe establishment of the ruby-forum bidi link.
I do *not* think that it is sufficiently clear; someone noted thatthey were surprised to learn that the forum was actually tied to amailing list *in this very thread*.
The web interface is reducing the quality of discussion dramatically,and merely increasing the warning level is not going to help that. Thestyle of discussion on fora is too radically different for the waythat ruby-talk is presented on ruby-forum. Something different needsto be done, because what exists is detrimental to the community.
