Recently a number of tired, old threads have been dredged up: one on HHO, the other on fuel line magnets.
With the price of fuel inching up again in North America, new registrations and activity are increasing in the forum... and we know from past experience that high fuel prices are correlated with crackpot activity.
With that in mind, in the interest of attempting to preserve a decent signal:noise ratio on the forum, I had this thought:
a blanket ban policy (or strong discouragement) of threads about certain mods which aren't based on well-understood science, and which tend to be popular among conspiracy theorists and people grasping for elixirs & magic bullets.
There are plenty of other forums around where people wanting to discuss those topics are would be welcomed with open arms.
I tend to see those threads as generating more heat than light. They mostly distract from discussion of real mods that have a basis in science / engineering. They also tend to bring out the worst in people (in terms of the tone of the discussions).
What do you think? Please vote & comment!
