My community Q&A site, CircleToLand.com is now in "bootstrap mode." This means all the usual safeguards and switches are turned off for new users, they can pretty much run wild and do crazy things like:
1) Ask more than one question every twenty minutes
2) Vote on answers & questions
3) Create new tags
Normally new users are restricted in a sandbox until they earn reputation points (given out usually by other site members voting up the user's answers and questions). This is a good thing because it keeps the trolls and crazies to a minimum. However, when EVERYBODY is a new user the sandbox rule gets in the way.
In short, the jailhouse is now run by the inmates. Got a question about flying that's always been nagging you? Run wild and ask it on CircleToLand.com.
You may ask why I'm pushing this site so hard, its because I believe in the site's tools in regards to fostering a healthy, knowledgeable online community centered around pilots helping other pilots.
If you have any questions or feedback about the site, please don't hesitate to email me (my email address is on CircleToLand.com on every page) or just comment on my blog.
