Dang's done a super great job, especially recently with some huge threads related to the election.

I would like to raise one point that's tangentially related: why is it not easier to find a page explaining the community guidelines ? AFAIK you have to look them up yourself.

The navbar has links to new, threads, past, comments, ask, show, jobs and submit, but none of them even give a clear redirect link to get to the guidelines ... wouldn't it make sense to add them to nav, or configure the site such that they're displayed the first time you visit ? Always seemed a bit funny to me from a design perspective.

They're in the footer on every page. Not enough?

Oh, indeed. Never seen them, but I think I never paid attention to any footer so far, so maybe they could be more highlighted.

On the other hand, like usual, the people who should read them the most, are probably the least likely to do so. Also the forum is somewhat self-regulating now?

I read quite often, when someone misbehaves, others chime in and ask them nicely to not do that here.
