Surviving the /qa/ coaltalogue - Day 54 - ANuran Period

Despite being slow, /qa/ is reasonably varied in content. Like I've said before, I wish the moderators spent some time manually keeping it that way. This isn't really a serious complaint because I don't expect there to be much effort made in this regard.

Now, to comment on the moderation is one thing. There's Doll's /q/ thread for that, which is an excellent initiative, even though his answers are short and he doesn't elaborate much on them. What interests me more is the architecture of the board. The design of /qa/ as it is now makes it a pretty shitty place. Here's why: It doesn't interest the majority of the sharty's users, even though it's expected that people who are on ADHD meds will find anything but basic things interesting.

Although I acknowledge the sharty and /qa/ will never be the same, I want to see it as close to /qa/ as possible. This is done, for example, by turning down suggestions to add poster IDs or user moderation on the main boards. It seems as if the moderators are afraid of large changes, which is sensible, but deeply unsatisfactory.
