Forums losing their shine

I started foruming from January 2021, there were the best posters possible:

@tpr
@Vertonghen
@UltraMuddish
@AOOP09
@U0c-O_g
@donya1386
@A_0123456
@LittleJennyWren
@SaNyob
@Diwaditya
@KKJ_KC2
@Ak888

I can provide more, but the list will be too long. Out of these many are chatbanned. Many have left Lichess. Many are bored, because forums are dying.

Yes, I agree forumers should get 2-3 chances. But, banning for 6 months, that's not fair.

During February, March, April 2021, forums were the most active; something that cannot be retained without these forum posters. I posted 30+ posts everyday. When I was close to 2000 posts, I posted 150+ in a day. And now, less threads, less fun, less advice, less quality, more spam, more advertising. This isn't the Lichess that was Lichess, 4 months ago. I totally agree with @Sheldon_Cotrel.
@Mantram_PateL is right. As of late, there has been a drop in interesting topics and a lot of repetitive topics. I've not posted as much as of late either for that reason. Hopefully this gets better, I definitely see a few good topics today.

You guys are some downvoting ring for sure. Let me tell you, you don't accomplish anything with this. Stop being fanboys and start to think beyond your factionism, actually.

Anyway I don't see any change in the condition of the forums, neither quality- nor quantity-wise.

@Mantram_PateL what do you actually mean by "best posters"? Just activity? Quality is not quantity. 150 posts a day sounds asinine; even if I posted on all forums and not just Feedback, I would not accomplish this immense quantity. Also I recognized some people on this list as trolls or trolly downvoters. Why shouldn't they be chatbanned if they bend the etiquette? I was also chatbanned for making a pointless offhanded comment just to vent on politics. Took 2 weeks to notice, I appealed to admit the wrongdoing, I was reinstated and I learned a lesson from it.

tpr doesn't appeal because he can't get the idea that he did things wrong, simple as that.
@Diwaditya #84.

lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/how-come?page=3#24 is not an inaccurate fact, yet, t.p.r disliked it, because he, after warnings from moderators, a chat-ban, tons of people explaining it to him and other people in threads made about it, and months gone by, still doesn't realize that he chat-banned himself by encouraging users to evade bans that they were given because they broke the lichess rules that they agreed to follow when they made their account.

I agree with everything you said, except the line "Anyway I don't see any change in the condition of the forums, neither quality- nor quantity-wise.".

The quality thing is subjective, and debatable, but the quantity part isn't.

The amount of posts and threads has gone down a huge amount, even though I don't exactly have proof of that, I can assure you there were being made many more posts and threads about 2-ish months ago.
@Cedur216

Not always, is quality better than quantity. Before, I and other posters posted like 40 posts everyday, out of then 30-35 were quality posts. Nowadays, out of 10, not more 5 are quality ones.
I feel tired after reading all this and have no brain left to post, sorry, I will give opinion when I find my brain. Reading 89 posts and deciding right and wrong was not easy.
