I'm with MMF, the discussion is good, imo. A mod created the thread, and has allowed the discussion to take place, so I'm pretty sure they're okay with it.
I think any forum, while being as open and fair as possible to all members, should value the opinion of those that have been around a long time. Keep in mind how strong and awesome CP is. We take it for granted a bit because it's just always been here and has always had moderation that doesn't allow for this place to turn into a no holds barred attack fest like you see other places.
There's lots of forums out there that were great communities that people thought would go forever and then poor moderation lead to the site being overrun with swearing, attacks and no real discussion, then the people that used to love it leave and they dissolve.
Not saying that's anything that's happening here, I think overall this place is moderated very well, and it shows with the continued success, however I think this type of discussion is healthy and I think this thread should continue.
Not sure if the mods agree, but I'd like to see a little more back and forth, perhaps in this thread (there's been a bit already) where we can ask questions about why things are done a certain way and the mods can give a little insight into their reasoning. On top of that, we can make suggestions and they can weigh them out and comment, or explain how they've already discussed it and here's why.
Especially since this is in the help forum, out of the way of the general site traffic, so it's easily avoidable for those that don't care or don't want to see it.
