I agree with d-pend that it's important to focus critique in a constructive way, not a destructive way. Just like voting for witnesses, downvoting spam/trolling, and such, I think in a decentralized environment every user has a responsibility to contribute their ideas on how things should be run. There are a lot of experienced developers and PMs on here (myself having previously been a PM and a BA) who have done many implementations, and it is wonderful that so many can contribute constructively to help these upgrades go better and better each time. We must examine what went wrong before we can plan for how to prevent those problems in the future.

Now bitching, that's another thing. That's not helpful to anyone except maybe the person venting. (Actually, I think even for them it would be better if they decided to go for a run to work off the energy that way.)

My issue (as I mention in my post from today) is with how things are NOT going wrong. What's going according to plan raises some concerns, particularly in how much SP is needed to do basic things like commenting.

I'm still not clear on whether the way RCs are being used right now is correct or another area in which things need to adjust over the next week. As it stands though, a plankton can only comment twice per 1-5 days. (I'm also unclear on how long it takes RCs to replinish.)

If that really is as intended, not a temporary snafu, that makes this a pay-to-play platform, and that is a threat to all of us. It is those of us who are committed to this place that care the most about these things.
