I am sure that it's harmless to discuss technologies that exist, like that comment of yours you linked. There are also discussions of various energy technologies that are also harmless, yet, informative or curiosity-inducing
Again, the continuing conversation remains as to be (if the damage on Maui was intentional) why it was done and to what end.
Totally agree. That's what we call a "mod material" reply. The mods are trying to accommodate everyone's desire to discuss the Maui situation, but keep GAW focused on its mission (according to the sidebar).
Please don't hesitate to share with us any comments or thoughts that could help us best serve this mission, either here or in modmail.
I think it would be wise to sticky the DEW quarantine post you put in the stickied comment for this thread, possibly for several days. Otherwise people are going to be banned / timedout and not understand why, which is not a good feeling especially when people are excited to learn/research that particular subject
Thanks for listening, I understand the desire to organize post types. The technology is a vastly different subject than what GAW is most of the time, so it makes sense to organize it into a single, visible sticky thread (it will likely be a few days for the interest to wane, but right now many many discussions are happening about it, even from locals that live there and lived through the fires)
My main was banned @catsfive I would like it back on. No reason to ban an account with as much post & comment karma as mine had.
I’m not the only one either, people are getting a bit concerned with GA being hijacked. We see posts warning of bans like this & yet obvious astroturfed posts make it to front page without ever being removed.
My account was one of the Top 20 contributors at one point until i could t post daily due to work. Waiting for a new account to have handshake removed so my posts aren’t shadowbanned .

OK, good suggestion, I'll redo it. We don't want to restrict discussion, but we do want it not to over-flood the WIN. Done.
