I have tried to get involved/help people on Stack Overflow (5 answers?), but somehow it dosen't feel as "warm" as a dedicated forum. I know it's hard to keep up and fight back bad content, it's not like you guys get paid to do it.

@php_rocs: I agree, it's going to be hard for all new users to survive a CI3 to CI4 upgrade on Stack Overflows hashtag system. +1 on "janitor" signup so more people can help to keep this community clean.

I have used a lot of resource and information from Stack Overflow that works, but will never get as trustworthy as getting answers from the source itself.

I voted to increase the amount of posts being moderated. But I think signatures should't work before you have made 40+ posts. And if you get caught with a bad signatures. It get's deleted and you privilege removed (warning first ofc).
