Just want to say a big thankyou to Avantronica. Lamai and the Elektronauts website in general for the Mute feature on the end of a thread from Normal.
Its something i haven’t bothered with till the Digitakt 2. As i suffer paralysing Gas really bad. That it consumes my thoughts day and night i didnt realize its impact on daily living. Laughing it off so to speak. But the Mute function is a godsend. I now can still participate in the group without the Gas effect. Should have done this ages ago especially when new gear gets released.
I use MUTE all the time. Probably 95% of the new threads started, i put into mute immediately. Cuts the E’naut clutter tremendously. I just wish i could set things so all new threads came up for me already muted, so i could just occasionally check and move a thread or two back to normal. But i can deal with it fine as it is.
Strange how many times people bother to start a thread, and then immediately delete their post (?). And how frequently people start a thread, when there is an active old thread. I do appreciate all the work moderators do shuffling around threads when this happens.
Muting categories is super useful too, bye-bye for-sale posts, unless i want to see them.
A general rule should be : Always keep thread titles, plain, descriptive, and concise.
Your leading post should be fun, and still descriptive, hopefully with a picture or video if it pertains. It’s fine to be a little creative in a first post. Also clearly delineate what will be on and off topic.
This goes along with thread “mutation”, in that you can then see a title and know quickly if it is a thread worth spending time on, or is probably a “mute”.
