What percentage of new topics are approved in what period of time?
What are delayed?
What percentage are not approved at all?
Percy, who is worried about the changes suggests that we can't tell for sure what the volume indicates.
Personally I'd be glad to have the topic approval process dropped. But the suggestion that we kill threads more quickly after they start going badly should replace it to maintain some sort of quality.
Since many new topics are being posted why aren't they being posted to cosmology? Is it because the few that are suggested there tend to be crank? Do you want all of them to go through? Will you deal with them?
