Who determines what's broke?

I think having 2 acronym threads is absolutely broke because that's confusing. I think having a thread called "Start Here" in the "Start Here" board when it's not really the place to start because the wiki is where a n00b should start is broke and confusing. I also think that "Start Here" thread in itself is broke because its wiki links to a hundred different threads. Completely overwhelming for someone looking to "start".

Meanwhile, no n00b will ever have the confidence to speak up and say, "Hey, this doesn't make sense." So we don't know that those things aren't working.

But that's just my opinion on what's broke. So who's to determine what's actually broke?

Just made a short wiki for Help Me Find It although it didn't really need one. Clearly I'm kinda in the mood to help clean up Start Here to make life easier for the beginners.

Nice job! I just read it aloud to my inlaws as we head back from Vail. They agree with everything but the doughnuts. They all went "eeewww". They also think the Deli is not priced well for the kinda of restaurant that it is.

Buy some tomorrow morning i think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I've certainly encountered many who feel the way your inlaws do about the Deli, but Iv'e also heard others who feel like me, so i guess it's a "Teiku"
