How happy are you with Tweakers? Have your say in the second quarter survey – IT Pro – .Plans

I also completed the survey. My main feedback:
Pros:
1: Lots of knowledge on forum and in user reviews. Thanks to all active users who provide T.net with their good comments, reviews and forum posts!!
2: Depending on the section, the forum is generally well-maintained, reasonably articulate, yet well-researched
3: Very valuable pricewatch that is well maintained
4: Nice (and old menu) layout of the website
5: I understand the many volunteers who moderate and maintain the forum. Despite it could be better (see points for improvement) I really think this forum is so much better than other forums (less substantiated complaining, less frustration dumps, less picture dumps, less nonsensical topics etc).

Points of improvement:
1: on the forum: much more tackling/moderating the troublemakers themselves, and not the users who answer first.
2: immediately stop with the login-email spam and then always come up with arguments that it is about security, and also immediately stop with the login begging messengers (since tracking-free banners). As a result, I do it more and more often than not.
3: stop with so many Plus articles: even the smallest detail is reason to add the Plus label. I know I can read 3 articles for free, but I didn’t really like its value that much more than regular articles, so I stopped again. In addition, I don’t want to contribute to any questionable statistics that keep track of how many Plus articles are read for free, which then translates to “there is a need for Plus articles, because everyone reads the 3 free articles per month”.
4: this is quite personal, but I want to mention it anyway, since T.net is the platform where I get lost several times a day: I think T.net should do more about immoral behavior on the forum (see point 1) and Q&A. Taking Scalping on Q&A Much Harder; scalping is not prohibited by law, but T.net must ask itself whether it wants to continue to tolerate this kind of immoral acts through the V&A platform…

Plus nor minus:
1: Something is actually done with feedback from users (just look at pricewatch improvements that are fed by criticism from users), but at the same time not; often the “smallest” requests (I put it in quotes on purpose because I don’t always know how complicated it is) such as implementing a dark theme, being able to mute/block users to make it more pleasant for yourself, etc. count on a “rebuttal” from a dev’er/moderator that it won’t work, and that it has to be done via workarounds. On other forums it is possible to block users so that you do not see their posts and DMs. At T.net you always have to click with a moderator who then decides whether to intervene. Sometimes there are just super annoying users that you just don’t want to talk to/see anymore. T.net would be a bit safer for people who are being stalked/harassed or simply don’t want to see/speak a user anymore by just being able to block that user without the intervention of a moderator. Please give the user that control himself.
