Hello,
The system in place to prevent spam is highly ineffective. I urge Kiel to change it to a registration / moderation based system. Note how the number of useful posts has dropped. There are no longer open and meaningful discussions here. What a shame...!
It would have been interesting if the "I refuse to look for information - give it to me" posters could have shown up with a reference to their school so we could see if there is a pattern.
I can only hope that the low frequency of people who ask good questions is because lots of people manage on their own and never make any posts.
It's interesting that the huge improvements in information search technologies seems to make it harder and harder for people to find information - or if it's just that all the people who would have failed the first few weeks now manages to survive and continue with their rather failed studies just so they will get a degree in "don't trust me at the office because I only present (and claimed as my own work) what someone else have already written and posted on the net".
Talking about issues with this forum - I don't like the new concept where the text message box has an "infinite" width so every paragraph will show as a single, horisontally scrolling, line of text in the editor. That must be one of the most hostile forum implementations to be found. And from an IT company that should know better.
There is no need to support infinitely long source code lines so why destroy the normal text input functionality?
