Elephant in the Room Solution Considerations

[tavie]

Hi Behrooz, I looked through much of this thread and I personally think that one of the reasons you may not be gathering as much traction or discussion for your ideas is that they are all posted in this thread, instead of their own thread within their respective forum areas. 

I think Koen and the other Moderators want the new members with novel ideas to keep to their own threads.  The reason I left the forum in 2024 was because I was scolded for posting all over the place and not staying in my own lane.

No one is asked to "stay in your own lane", and the rules apply to longstanding members as much as new members.   

The rule is "one thread per theory".  e.g. if someone claims they have deciphered the manuscript as Maltese, we don't want them to be shoehorning that into every current thread, triggering arguments about their solution and derailing it from the original topic.  Especially when there are rival solvers who start arguing it's their language, etc. The forum would become unreadable and confusing for newcomers.  So instead the person gets their thread for their Maltese solution.  They are perfectly entitled to comment on other threads, provided it's not aimed at promoting their Maltese solution.  

That's all it is.
